To his Excellency, Thomas E. Bramlette, Governor of the State of Kentucky.
The undersigned residents of the city of Maysville, would respectfully represent unto your Excellency that Jacob Ehnis was fined by the Mayor of said city in the sum of Fifty Dollars and costs, amounting in the whole sum of Sixty One Dollars. They state that the fine was an exceedingly large one, the offence for which said fine was imposed being a violation of one of the ordinances of said City of minor importance in its character, and that it is an unjust fine. They state that said Jacob Ehnis has lately been visited with the death of his wife and mother-in-law, the expense of whose sickness and burial has been heavy upon him, and that at this time he is illy prepared to pay said fine and costs. They state that he is a firm friend of the Union and has always born his part well towards our Government. ^and is an industrious and peaceable man^. Wherefore they pray that you will extend to him your clemency by remitting a portion if not all of said fine.
Respectfully
