Lousiville May 6th. 1862. Hon B. Magoffin Gov of Kentucky Dr. Sir

Some two or three weeks ago whilst you was absent from Frankfort Mrs Julia Dean called to see you with a Petition for remission of a fine, but not seeing you left the Petition in the office -- she has called this morning and asks me to drop you this note to beg you to look at her Petition & if you please to consider her case favorably & send a remission, She says it is Impossible for her to pay the fine & she is threatened daily that she will be taken to the work House, of which place she has a great horror.

Very Truly your Friend Geo. W. Johnston.
