Maysville, Ky, Jany 27, 1862, Hon B. Magoffin, My dear Sir,

Some weeks ago, I wrote you requesting that the fines of $100 each, against William McKinley and Paul T. Best, recovered in the Mason Circuit Court, for betting on the election, be remitted, Not having heard from you on the subject, I beg respectfully to call your attention again to the subject, and to say, that these gentlemen, are worthy, good citizens, as peaceful law abiding men as there are in the county, and upon one of them at least the fine bears very oppressively. I do hope you will consider it proper to remit the fines.

Very respectfully, Your friend R H Stanton
