His Excellency Gov Robinson
Dear Sir

I enclosed a petition to you in March last praying Your Excellincy to remit a fine adjudged agst me in the Gallatin Circuit Court at its last March Term. I hoped it would meet with favor as — I am not really able to pay the fine without greatly compromising my family — I care not for Myself. I would willingly forego the punishment Myself if it only affected Me — I hope you will give it Your favorable consideration at once and let Me hear from You as the Sherriff is urging the matter & I desire to know what to do.

Yours Respt
Sam" ,W. Spencer
