Hon. B. Magoffin
Dear Sir
Several days since at the requeset of J. N. Furber Esqr. I enclosed his letter with a petition of M r Walker of Bracken. Also the record of proceedings had in connection with the fine sought to be remitted by said petition. This is a matter in which I have no feeling or especial interest, but will say Mr Walker is a very industrious, moral & poor man, & from his general character feel ^satisfied^ he intended no offence --
Will you be so good as to examine said papers & inform ^me^ at your convenience the result.
I suppose Mr Furber will be anxious upon my return home to hear the result
of this application --
I hope you are still improving --
very Respectfully
Thornton F. Marshall
Sec will answer T. F. Marshall -- I acted on the case Several days ago favorably I think
