Winchester Ky Feby 19" 1861 Hon B Magoffin Dr Sir,

At the instance of Mr John L. Adams I write you on the present occasion. You will see from the returned Document that you have respited on case in him for $50 -- there was the cases for $50 each and one for $10 -- Will you do him the kindness to send him a respite for the whole amount of $110 -- being assessed against him upon three indictments

I have heard ^a detail of^ the facts in these cases, and am satisfied that your Excellency has not erred in granting you clemency in the matter Mr Adams is a good & amiable man & is naturally incluned to obey the laws of his country, and I would ^with others^ be gratified that you camethe respite the three fines, if consistent with your practice remit them at once.

Very truly Yr friend Jas Flanagan
