To His Excellency Govr Magoffin-

The undersigned Jos K Pria says he was fined at this the August term of the Warren Eq & Criml Court $60 & cost on a charge for Keeping a tippling house in 1858. Now yr Petitioner states the Charge in the indictment is unjust and untrue- There were but two witnesses & these two did not prove a sale: the jury only inferred it -- one of sd witnesses is a deadly enemy of Mine & is Now under indictment for murder in this County -- I am a poor man with a family- I ask humbly for a remission of my fine in whole if not in part -- A respite would be appreciated, but much higher would I appreciate a remission --

Very Respectfully -- J K Price

The undersigned Citizens of Warren Co Ky respectfully unite in requesting the Govr to extend relief to the Petitioner Jos K Price
