STANTON & THROOP, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, Maysville, Ky, Aug 30th 1861 Dear Col.

A young man in our city named Benj: Clark who keeps a small grocery store in the lower end of town was fined in two case, in our Circuit Court, for selling liquor without licence. He is a young man just commencing life, knows very little about the law, & the fines against him in these hard times, are exceedingly onerous, & will almost ruin him to pay, He will not violate the law again, as he assures me, & will keep to its strict letter. He has petitioned the Governor for a remittance

of his fines, amounting in all to $100 -- WIll you be kind enough to speak a good word to the Governer for him, for I do think it is a case executive interference, & try these fines remitted, The will be a sufficient lesson to this young gentleman to restrain him in future, Your kindness will be duly appreciated by him, & will also be considered a personal favor to me,

Your family are all well, Pretty times here, & the "Union" men are many of them becoming heartily sick of their party action, in trying to unite Kentucky in civil stife. Let me hear from you soon.

Truly yours Thos. J. Throop
