R. H. STANTON. THOS. J. THROOP. STANTON & THROOP, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, Maysville, Ky, July 23 1861

My dear Govenor,

Mr Andrew G. Wilson, a most excellent citizen, and an upright law abiding man, had an old negro man, who took the liberty of going off and working for himself, and who from a rheumatic affliction, was not perhaps restrained as much by his master as he should have been, Mr Wilson for this was indicted and fined in the Mason Circuit Court 40$ for permitting him to go at large &c, He asks you to remit so much of the fine as you can remit, and I concur with him in the application, I have send the remitted to me at this place,

Your friend R H Stanton

Hon B Magoffin, Governor &c

Mr Wilson gave the court no trouble but confessed judgment, relying upon your clemency.
