Versailles
To His Excellency Thomas E Bramlette, Governor of Kentucky
At the Isaac Webb was a Judgment was taken against Isaac Webb for $34, fine and penalty for standing a Jack without license. A Judgment was also taken against said Webb in said Court for $40 — the fine and penalty for standing a Horse without license.
Mr Webb has stated to us, and we give full credit to his statements, that the failure to take out license, was through [circumstance]and [...]forgetfulness partly, and partly from want of minute knowledge of his duty. We also know that Webb proffered to pay the licenses and all costs that had been incurred. We are satisfied that Mr Webb never had any intention of defrauding the Commonwealth. He is a highly respectable man, lives on the Versailles & Shyrocks Ferry Turnpike road, within three miles of Versailles and is as well known as any citizen of the County. His position and respectability, all forbid the idea, that he was attempting to defraud the State. He proffers to pay the price of the license for each animal with costs and only asks to have remitted the penalty beyond the licenses. We respectfully solicit Your Excellency to remit the Judgments as far as you can.
Very Respectfully
Jno. K. Goodloe
