Shepherdsville
A. V. Vanwinkle Esq
Dear Sir.
Enclosed I send you the letter of R. A. Wise Esq showing the amount of the fine against Hilary Jackson and George Jackson, as you directed. I enclosed a petition some days ago, to the Gov. praying the remission of the fine. They are a poor widow's sons, and she & they are unable to pay the fine, and she is dependent on their labour for a support. Besides I have no doubt they will try to avoid difficulties here after, and this occurred at the election & grew out of politics, the Jacksons being strong Union boys, & were imposed upon.
Yours &c WmRThompson
