Maysville, Ky. May. 7th 1863. Hon. Jas F. Robinson:

Dear Sir, I enclose you a petition signed by the members of the Mason Co. Bar. -- praying Your Honor to remit a part of three Recognizance Bonds amounting in the aggregate to the sum of $6.00,

The grounds & reasons for of this prayer are set forth in the petition.

I would just say in addition that a similar petition was made out & sent to Gov. Magoffin a short time previous to ^his^ withdrawal from the Executive chair.

What reception it met with, I have never learned, but suppose that in the hurry of business it was not duly considered, or perhaps overlooked entirely.

The members of the Bar all

agree with me that this is a case in which your Honor ought to interpose & remit so much of the Bonds as go to the state.

I would most respectfully urge the matter upon your consideration & request a compliance with the prayers of your petitioners.

Resply Yours F. B. Trussell, Mayor City Maysville.

P. S. See note of Prosecuting Attorney Pro. Tem -- Harrison Taylor.
