Governor Thos. E. Bramlette
Dear Sir

Some time since I sent you a petition requesting your Excellency to remit a fine imposed upon me as surity upon a forfeited recognisance before the Hopkins Circuit Court. I desire to know if the petition was received. I hope that it was & that you may see proper to grant the prayer of myself & friends

The fine is only one hundred Dollars & yet it is a large Sum for me to have to pay for no violation of law. I delivered the man up into the custody of the Hopkins Circuit Court ~~[...]~~its officers & believed that I had then discharged my bond. — I would be pleased to know if my petition had been received & Considered by you & hope that you may see proper to remit the fine — Very Respectfully

John. P. Price

Hopkins Cir Ct
vs
J.P. Price
$100.
Forfeiture
13^th May/64

Remit except
