Falmouth Nov 12t 1860 Hon -- B -- Magoffin Frankfort Ky Dear Sir:

An old Man of our county by the name of Lewis Perry was some time since fined the sum of twenty three dollars & 20ct for Profane Swearing, in the presence of Alfred Riley Esquire.

I am informed and believe that Perry is a civil old man and was intoxicated when he Committed the offence, He is a poor man with a family, and I have no doubt that your interposition would be an act of humnity and perfectly right -- The fine of twenty three Dollars & 20 cts ($23,,20) was done all at the same time:

It is a very small matter and would not do any thing in the matter only on account of his condition, he being poor & a cripple

2

and further believing ^that the fine is^ unreasonable and unjust,

It stands thus on Equire Rileys Docket, "For swearing thirty" "profane oaths on the 19th of June 1860' "fine $23,,20 costs 4,,75 constables" "half Commission 83 cts -- on replevin" "bond."

Such are the facts and what you do will be satisfactory to me. Though I hope you will interpose in his behalf, if so send to me --

Yours truly H, A, Fitzpatrick
