For old Mr John Nelson of this County I sent you a petition asking the remission of a fine assessed ag against him and now in the hands of James Walden a constable for collection

Since I wrote you accompaning the petition I have made further enquiries and am the more satisifed that the greatest injustice has been done Nelson: and that you will be doing an act of Justice to remit the fine Nelson is a good natured kind hearted old man

I hope you give the matter your attention and confer a favour on your Friend
