Bowling Green Ky th August 62
James Speed Esq
There will be found during the term of the Criminal Court now Sitting in Warren, Some one hundred or more Indictments against Robert J Foster for Exhibiting a Faro, Bank, I am apprehensive that an effort will be made to procure a reprieve from Gov Magoffin in advance of a trial Mr Foster is an old offender and ought to be punished. Will you be so kind as to say to Gov Magoffin, if Such application Should be made to communicate with me before he acts.
A number of gentleman Such as Judge Loving and Robert Rodes. will if necessary remonstrate against it, as unjust to the Comth, If deemed proper by you, you can file this with the governor. Recollect that my Address is Franklin Ky
Respectfully
W m B Jones
