Bowling Green, Ky., February 5th, 1861 Gov. MaGoffin,

Sir: Enclosed you will find a petition with signers for the release of a fine rendered against me at this the Februay term of the Warren Equity & Criminal Court. Most of the signers are members of the bar at this place. I could get any number of my fellow citizens of the county to sign it also, but thinkhope that these already to the petition, as you are acquainted with several of them, will suffice. I would be pleased to hear from you, as soon as it will suit your convenience.

Very Respectfully, Alexander O Morris
