Richmond Ky Dec 20th 1860 His Excellency Hon Beriah Magoffin Dear Sir

I have read the petition of Silas Hill James Maupin and Thomas H. Barnes praying to be released from the payment of three judgments against them five hundred dollars each rendered at the present term of our Circuit Court as sureties of Joseph Williams and know the facts set forth in the petition to be true. I have no doubt this is a case clearly calling for Executive clemency and should be much gratified by your exercise of it in behalf of these gentlemen all of whom are my friends

Yours Respectfully Will Jennings
