Mt. Sterling Ky.
To His Excellency
Gov Bramlette
Sir: At the last term of our Court an indictment was found against Mrs Emily Barnes for allowing her negro man "Alfred" to hire his own time, & having an aversion to have her name connected with a Commonwealth trial, she send me a note telling me to take judgment imediately against her, which I did for $40 —
I think it would be right to remit this, for the reason that Mrs Barnes was utterly ignorant of any wrong in the premises, & really cannot keep the boy at home & control him — She is a pure & good lady & I am constrained to ask this of you without any knowledge or solicitation on her part, but as a matter of pure justice to an estimable friend of both yours & mine.
Respectfully Yours
J. S. Drury, Comth Atty.
Remit all except fees & costs —
Tho E Bramlette
Montgomery Cir Ct
vs
Mrs Emily Barnes
$40 —
