Brownsville Edmonson Co Ky
Gov. Bramlette
I have delayed for^war^ding my petition in consequence of Morgans late raid, fearing it might be cut off in its transit to you I could have extended the list of names to it, indiffinitely, but supposed it unnecessary to get more than I have obtained- The Jurymen live mostly in parts of the County remote from that in which I reside-(town) and I consequently failed to see them all- They would all however,0857 have doubtless signed it, with possibly, one or two exceptions- But these exceptions would not have been upon the ground that they believed that the fine should not be remitted- upon that point there seems to be Entire unanimity of opinion in my favor, and I flatter myself that your action in the case will be consonant with this opinion
W. L. Conklin- member of the late Legislature of Ky. & who was my counsel in the trial, told me he would write you, giving some of the particulars of the case-
Enclosed you will find a copy of the Judgement & virdict.-
I am Very Respectfully
Your Obt servt
Jno W Bailey
