To His Excy Gov'r Magoffin P. U Major Esq Frankfort Ky Dear Sir

At the last term of the Carroll Circuit Court our fellow citizen Mr Wm Gardner was fined $5000 for selling whiskey to a miner, Mr Gardner did not know at that time that there existed a Law of the kind, and knowing Mr G. to be a Lawabiding man we are satisfied that at the time he was not aware of violating the Law. We therefore would respectfully solicit you to use your influence with his excellency the Govenor to have the fine remitted,

Respectfully R. Frank Harrison Lewis Oneal R J Colins Wm Haydon Wm Cline W N Van Pelt R B Yate C McCrackin P. U. Major Comths Atty
