Augusta Ky Mch 15th 1861 Hon. B. Magoffin Frankfort Ky My Dear Sir:

At the past term of our February Circuit Court, John Case and his mother, Phoebe Case, were tried for keeping a Tipling House, both were found guilty-

John paid his fine 60$ & the costs -- Phoebe had really no criminal past in the matter -- The attorney for the Commonwealth agreed with me, that no Capias should issue until you were appealed too -- I earnestly ask your Excellency to remit the fine, and only do so, because I feel that the law has been feebly Enforced & Satisfied by the fine on John -- which he has paid -- I make these statements and this appeal on my own personal knowledge & candor --

God Save our Country Yours Most Truly Jos Doniphan
