The officer was Benjamin Wheler Esq Justice of the peace in & for the County of Grayson & state of Ky — The offence was commited in the County of Grayson & Town of Millerstown I intended to have writen a letter for M^r Howard but did not get to see him untill after the petition was gone — as he Howard Cannot write, I do not wish to influence the Hon Governor to do anything but what I know or beleave would be rite, but in this case I do think he would do rite & Justice to remit the fine, for Severalreasons one is he ^Howard^ is as Loyl a citizen as their is in Ky whilst all those engaged on the opposite side are as noted Rebels as their is in Ky — Howard is a member of a home guard has sholdered his Musket by day & Night to defend the his Neighbours, & this & other similar circumstances was the Cause of the difficulty all the circumstances if necessary can be given I shall not attempt it as I have not been requested to do so,
