Dear Governor
Enclosed I send you a Copy of Judgment Jefferson Circuit Court and petition for remission of fine -- you can see what Petitioner represents. Mr Roberts My partner says it is a very meritorious case he knows the parties sayd they are poor and all of them a large family of children. If consistent with your notions of duty I should like the fine remitted Mr Roberts has caused that portion due the comths atty to be paid before asking for clemency. I should send Mr Tate the assistant Sec his fee of $2 -- but apprehend it would look a little premature if not presumptious and Saucy. If your Excelency should interfere in the case hower I will remit to Mr PTate or Page --
Your friend
