To his Excellency Thos E Bramlette Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The undersigned Granville C. Ingram and Levi P Baker, would respectfully beg leave to represent unto Your Excellancy that at the last October term of the Wayne Circuit Court, a judgment in favor of Said Commonwealth was rendered against them by the Wayne Circuit Court for a fine of One Hundred dollars each on an~~Indictment~~ ^Saparate indictments against them^ for Tipling. They state that they applied to and obtained from the Government of the United States a license in due form and paid the tax thereon as may be seen by the enclosed license ^one of which through mistake of the Collector was found in the name of Baker & Bobbit.^ That they Would also have obtained a license from the Trustees of Monticello and paid the tax thereon to the Corporation and to the state, but during the time they operated under the license from the general government, there were no Trustees in Office, and Consequently they were unable to procure Corporation license, They state that they had no inteniton of violating any law or defrauding the State or Corporate authority, And moreover they carried on the business at the time of the invasion of this portion of the State by the Rebels, and at the time when law and Order was unknown in this section of Country. Your petitioners would therefore most respectfully ask your Excellency to release them from the payment of that portion of the fines to which the State is entitled, and they will promise that they will not annoy your Excellency with such importunities for the future, and in duty bound they will ever pray and petition
