Princeton Ky, June 15 1861 Honl B Magoffin Dr Sir

At our present term of the court a young man by the name of Dunn was convicted of disturbing religious worship & his punishment fixed at a fine and imprisonment I am informed he is the son of a widow Lady who is poor and greatly distressed at her sons conduct and the imprisonment. That the offense occured in a drunken frolic & of which the young man is greatly penitent and promises reformation. I would therefore beg leave to ask of your Excellency a remission so far as the imprisonment is concerned

Very Resp Your Obt Sert Tho, W. Dabney
