To His Excellency. B. Magoffin.

The Undersigned Citizens of Bath, would respectfully represent, That at the March Term 1862. of the Bath Circuit Court, a fine was recovered against Thos R. Hill for $34,xx for standing a Jack without a License.

We further represent that said Hill is a good citizen and had no purpose of violating the law, beleiving that he had a right to procure the license at any time before the end of the year and actually did apply to the Clerk for the License but too late to be avilable -- March 20th 1862

This is all right. Mr Hill is one of the best Citizens and would not attempt to Evade the law. he was under the impression that if he got a license any time during the Year it would be all right.

Yours Truly Comth Atto,
