Richmond Ky.
31st March 1864,

Dear Sir, At the late March term of our Circuit Court a Judgment was rendered for the Commonwealth against St. Clair Ogg for $25 — for standing a Stud horse Hercules without first obtaining a license in the year 1863. He had obtained and paid the Clerk for his license during the Season, but prior to obtaining it he had allowed his horse to serve serveral mares. For that service he had been paid nothing. His Stallion was stolen by the Rebels, and soon afterward he got his arm cut off by a threshing machine — He is poor and I hope you will ask Gov Bramlette to remit the fine against him It is proper to do so.

Your friend

Curtis F Burnam

E. L. VanWinkle Esq
Secretary of State
