Barbourville Ky 30 January 1861 Jno Word Esq. Dear Sir

At the request of Lafayette Bingham I write to you giving you the date and amount of a Judgment in our court against him for tipling.

The Judgment is for $60- and was rendered at the September Term 1859.

He says he had license at the time the offense was committed and was fined because he sold the whiskey on the election ground and instead of at his grocery. He is in hopes you may be able to procure a remission of the fine while you are at Frankfort

We had a glorious union meeting at the Court house last monday it being County Court day, the house was crowded and much enthusiasm was manifested by the crowd, no news of importance

Yours truly G. M. Adams Jr.
