Ashland Ky May 2nd 1862 B, Magoffin Governor of Ky Dear Sir.

I this ^morning^ enclosed to you the petition of Germin May praying for a remission of a fine against him of $6000 as per verdict rendered on charge of keeping a tippling-house. I neglected to enclose a line there with requesting that your reply be directed to "S J Henderson: AshlandBoydCo Ky" and it did not occur to me until it was too late -- the mail had gone. You will please have your reply so addressed.

Permit me to say upon my own responsibility that German Mays' case is one worthy of Executive interference; your earliest response will be much appreciated

Very Respectfully Your Obedient Servant S J Henderson

To His Honor B Magoffin Gov'nr of Ky
