Owensboro. Ky. July. 30. 1861. Hon. B. Magoffin Dear. Sir.

Accompanying this ^note^ you will find an application of Mr. Preston Troutman for the remission of a fine imposed upon him by the Bullitt Circuit Court at its April term last supported by the affidavits of citizens of this and Bullitt County. I am personally acquainted with those of the affiant, who reside in this county and can assure you that they are men of the highest moral worth. Troutman resides in this county and is I am reliably informed an honest, hardworking man and was as the Enclosed papers abundantly prove prevented by illness of his wife from attending the Court and making his defence to the prosecution which resulted in Judgements against him. I am satisfied that this is a case which commend itself to the clemency of the Executive and I sincerly unite in the prayer of the petition for the remission

I am very respy Your obt servt Clinton McClarty
