Jamestown Ky
His Excellency Governor Bramlette
Sir
There has been a fine assessed in the Russell Circuit Court against Jonas Brodshaw for Tippling for the amount ^sum^ of thirty five dollars and We the undersigned citizens of said County and neighbors of said Brodshaw Petition to you to have the amount of the fine due the commonwealth remitted and think that an account of his haveing a large helpless family on hands and being almost unable to make them a support that said fine ought to be remitted and we consider that it will be an act which will be of great benefit to his family said Brodshaw is scarsely able to work and is entirely destitute of means to pay the said fine consequently we will expect that strong your magnanimity [...] that you will comply with the request of the numerous friends who appeal to you in his behalf that said fine will be remitted
