Campbellsville Ky March 12 1862 Gov. Magoffin Frankfort Ky Dear Sir

Our mutual friend Rufus Jenkins has been fined fifty dollars for selling spirotious liquors to a minor.

I can say, to you, that it is the universal opinion here that the fine ought to be remitted.

Mr Jenkins has been for several years the superintandat at "Redmans" Hotel. He has always, in my opinion, ^acted^ as a genlteman,

Hee has always endeavored to preserve order & to prevent any violations of the laws.

I do not believe that he had an idea that he was violating the law when he sold the spirituous liquors to the infant.

I believe that the remission of his fine would be received by the entire community here with pleasure:

It would be a pleasure to Yours Respectfully Timoleon Cravens
