Clinton Jany 22 — 1864
To his Exellency
Thos E Bramlette
Govenor of Kentucky
Dear Sir

My brother in law John Davis sends you a petition to to remit a fine of $50 or $60 — which the Comoth of Ky obtained against him under a charge of keeping a tipling house

I can vouch, personally, for the facts set forth in the petition & signed by the citizens of the town. He was crtainly not guilty of any willful violation of law & is as law-abiding a citizen as we have, I would be gratified to have him relieved if you think it consistent with executive duty to do so

Yours Truly
W M Samuels
