To His Excy Gov'r Robinson
Dear Sir

In the case of the comth vs James Sullivan, judgt rendered in the Franklin Circuit Court at its June term 1862 or thereabouts, The fine should be remitted, The indictment was found through prejudice that is the witness was a political & personal enemy of Mr Sullivans — I would have then at the time have dismissed the indictment if the court would have permitted me and the witness swore square up and there was no alternative but to convict altho, it was a case where there should have been no conviction therefore it is that I ask the fine to be remitted
