La Grange Ky
Octr 5th 1863
His Excellency
Gov: Bramlett
Honrd Sir:

You will find accompanied with this a petition to Your Honer for the remission of a fine imposed on me by a Court and Jurey in Louisville. The circumstance of the case are set forth in the pettition- I could get other good & loyal men to sign the petition but I deem it unnecessary- I am now living in La Grange Ky- If you desire others, I can get the leading Union men of the town to sign it-

I hope this will meet with your approval, for I am poorly able with my large family to support, to pay so large a fine. having been broken up by losses sustained by aggressions committed by the rebels

A. Williams

P. S. I know Mr Williams well, and know him to be a peaceble & loyal Citizen, who was runaway from his home in Garrard Countyonly for his loyalty & desire to submit to the laws of his Country

Respectfully
W. C. Mahan, Clk of the Oldham Cir. Ct:
