Covington K July 2d 1861 Hon. Beriah Magoffin Governor &c, Dear Sir

At the June Term of the Kentin Circuit Court Joseph Blackwell was convicted and ^fined^ the sum of $200 for keeping a Tippling House three months and being unable either to pay or replevy the fine was committed, He is well thought of and has an amiable family consisting of an excellent wife and two children who are suffering by his confinement At the instance of Mrs Blackwell I write you this note to ask you to pard remit the fine against him, I think such clemency would be apperopeate and salutary

Very truly Yours &c W, E, Arthur Atty Com'th
