Hickman Ky July 5. 1861. His Excellency Beriah Magoffin Governor of Kentucky. Dr Sir.

I send you herewith, a petition and accompanying documents in the case of the Commonwealth agt Thos J Godman, for keeping a Tippling house, and praying for a remission of the fine of $60.00 imposed upon him by the law. These papers explain themselves and need no further enlargement on my part, except simply to remark, that Mr Godman is a most worthy citizen, advanced in life, with a large family to support- and eminently deserving of the interposition of your Excellency's clemency.

The petition of the citizens which might have been much more numerous embraces the names of Josiah Parker Esq, County Judge, J H Davis Esq City Judge J T Trust County Clerk. E Caze Esq Mayor of the City & others. May I therefore ask your Excellency to accord the prayer of the petitioners while I remain

Most respectfully Your Obt Servt Geo C Hallet
