Dear Sir
</p>

<p corresp='TTP35094779P1' xml:id='OTP35094779P1'>I enclosed a petition to you in <date when='--03'>March</date> last praying Your Excellincy to remit a fine adjudged agst me in the Gallatin Circuit Court at its last <date when='--03'>March</date> Term. I hoped it would meet with favor as -- I am not really able to pay the fine without greatly compromising my family -- I care not for Myself. I would willingly forego the punishment Myself if it only affected Me -- I hope you will give it Your favorable consideration at once and let Me hear from You as the Sherriff is urging the matter &amp; I desire to know what to do.
