To His Excellency
J F Robinson
Frankfort, Ky

The undersigned would respectfully state, that during the year 1859 one Henry F Farrier was indicted by the Lyon Circuit Court for a misdemeanor and bound over to answer in the sum of One hundred dollars with James Lester as surety — In 1861 Farrier joined the rebel army and ^has^ remained in the army ever since and on account of the difficulties of the country and the almost constant occupation of this portion of the state by the rebel forces Mr Lester has not been able to produce him before the Court. We would further state that Mr Lester has been a heavy loser on account of the present rebellion, and we think that the Commonwealth can better afford to lose the above amount of $100.⁰⁰, than Mr Lester.

Therefore under the circumstances ^we^ would respectfully ask your Excellency to remit the above named fine of $100.⁰⁰ & that Mr Lester be acquitted from the payment of the same

Respectfully Yr. Obt Sevt^s
