ten thousand dollars, most of these debts have interest from January 1862. There is also one suit pending against me in this county, where the plaintiff claims a large sum of money.
You will see from the above that I am a man of small means and that I have already paid dearly for the offence with which I am charged. If now a fine of $1,000 is imposed on me, it will be impossible for me to raise the money and may result in my ruin. Believing that it is your object to do justice and act impartially I have stated the above facts and would ask of you a careful investigation of the issue, and any one in Brazoria County, who is not prejudiced against me will corroborate my statement.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
C.C. Millican
