Gov J P Robinson
Dear Sir
The case of Moses Block & wife, who apply for remission of a fine, deserves your sympathetic attention. The costs in the suit have been heavy; they are hard working people and have borne an excellent repute heretofore. The names on their petition show the estimate of their standing with our citizens. The remission of the fines cannot do injury to any public or private interest and would in my opinion be an act of mercy
Yours truly
James S. Wallace
