Govenor Bramlett

Dear Sir — I send herewith the affidavits of four of the neighbors of John Bransteter who has been find $200 for gaming — the men whoses names affidavits I send are all respectable & good citizens as much so as any we have & are his neighbors — from their statements I believe it is one of the few cases which should be favorably considered by the Executive & have there fore taken the interest to write you & sind there affidavits paying that his fine be remitted. You will see that one of the affiants is our county representative

Respectfully yours &c
R B Dahoney

PS —

I have Just learned that the three convicts which were sent from our county to the Penitentiary & released on the way by the Rebels, are back in this & Adair County armed I suppose & equiped & commiting depredations — If an inducement in the way of a reward was offered for them I expect they could be recaptured — Their names are Joseph Burdett, Calvin M^cDaniels & Thomas Easton —

Yours &c
R B D
