To His Excellency
Thos E Bramlette Gov^r &c

The undersigned, your petitioners would most respectfully represent that, at the March Term 1864 of the Christian Circuit Court there was a Judgment for Twenty dollars rendered against one E O Adams for retailing

And believing that the case of said Adams presents strong reasons for the exercise of Executive clemency, would most respectfully ask that, if not incompaitble with the public interest, your Excellency would remit said fine — Said Adams is a very poor man, with a family of nine little children dependant upon him for their support, and his circumstances, are such that he cannot, possiblypay said fine, and his imprisonment would throw his helpless family upon charity for their sustainance

Most Respectfully
Joab Clark clk cir ct
