His Excellency
Gov Bramlette
Sir,

You will recollect the case of Mr L. D. Cranniger, of this city who was the security of Capt Sharp who was indicted for stealing a horse of one T. D. Kennedy. The horse was taken by Capt Sharp who was acting under Major Bocking— who was acting under Col Leonidas Metcalf, who was acting under Genl Boyle, At one time Genl Boyle— denied having authorised Col Mitcalf — and then the whole thing fell to pieces— You have doubtess seen the late letter of Col Metcalf

containing the very [...] letter of Genl Boyle — acknowledging— that he had authorized Col Metcalf— but had forgotten it, When Bocking was stopped by the Order from Genl Boyle— every thing fell in [disaster]— the sesesh every where [...] prosecuted Sharp— there are now six cases pending in this Court, for tresspass & personal property arising out of this transaction. Col Carpenter, put this in the form of felony, so as to secure his attendance, Sharp gave Mr Croninger and getting frightened left— At the present term of the Kenton Circuit Court judgment was rendered against L. D. Cronniger for $200, Capt Sharp I understand is in Eaton Ohio [quite]

low with bleeding of the lungs. I hope you will find it compatible with your duty as Governor to remit this fine. immediately, If the Capt had remained I have no doubt he would have been cleared, but being young he became frightened

Respectfully Yours
John F, Fisk

Remit except costs & fees
