Louisville Apl 27th 1864.
To His Excellency
Gov Bramlitte
Dr Sir

Some time during the year 1863 W B Hoke became the surety of Robt Johnson in the sum of one hundred dollars to appear at the [...] term 1864 of the city court of Louisville and answer to an Indictment. Johnson failed to appear as required and the bail bail bond was forfeited & Judgment against Hoke, & he has petitioned for a remission. Since said Judgment was rendered. is Hoke we have learned that sd Johnson, Enlisted in the U S Navy and a few days before sd cause was called for trial, the Gun Boat on which Johnson was doing service, was suddenly ordered away from Louisville & Johnson with it. Since that time he has been absent; Johnson has sent letters to Mr Hoke stating his regret at not being able to appear & stand his trial — but could not leave duty on sd Boat, Under the circumstances of what we can clearly oppined we ask a remission of sd $100.

Respectfully
W. G Reasor city atto

I concur with Mr Reasor Geo W. Johnston:
