Creelesburg May 1st 1860 Dear Sir

It is not often that I trouble the Executive asking the remission of a fine. William Reynolds was this day fined before me $100 each in two actions making $200 -- for Exhibiting a menagera of Animals in this Russell County on the 28 & 30th Day of May 1860. Mr Reynolds Seames like a well disposed man. Acted I think ignorantly. thinking as he was on the Cumberland river that he was not liable to pay a licence, he has paid the license -- he is from George & is a very sickly man. his paying the cost and licence has taken all the money he had,, And I think his a case in which your clemency Should interpose & remit the fine -- May 21st 1860
