Maysville Jany 21st 1861, Hon. B. Magoffin Governor of Kentucky Dear Sir,

One young friend Joseph T. Forman, son of our very worthy representative George L. Foreman, got into a boyish difficulty some time since at Washington in our county, at which no one was injured, no arms used, and which was of youthful passion, and the justice of the peace, before whom he was tried fined him twenty dollars for a breach of the

2

peace. From our acquaintance with your Forman, we believe him to be a young gentleman of good character, peacably disposed, and not given to wrong doing or fighting and this offence is a mere youthful indiscretion, done in the heat of momentary passion, and by which no one was injured nor was any blood struck, and that your Excellency might with great propriety remit the fine, as the cost will be a sufficent punishment for the offence.

Your attention to this small matter will greatly oblige

Your friends Thos J. Throop

P. S. The name of the justice of the peace who inflicted the fine is William Thurman

Throop

I concur in the above request, The young man is a worthy gentlemen

R H. Stanton
