His Excellency
James F Robinson
Dear Sir
I am well acquainted with the Petitioner Mistress Sarah Ann Myres and am satisfied she never kept liquor for sale —
I heard the testamony of the witnesses in Court and their manner of testifying satisfied me they were governed by a malicious motive in bringing the affair into Court, there seemed not to be a good feeling on the part of the Witnesses towards Mistress Myres, —
I want all Just fines (these war times) Collected but I am so well Satisfied of the unjustness of this one that I would humbly ask for executive Clemency
Your friend &c
