His Excellency
Gov Thos, E, Bramlett
Dear Sir

At the last March term of the Christian Circuit Court a Judgement was rendered by said Court agst Coleman Dunnin for Twenty Dollars for selling liquor without license Said Dunnin is an Old man whose wife is dead & who has dependant on him for support several small children He is poor & owns no property & hires himself out as a laborer to make a support for himself & children A capias is now in the hands of the Sheriff & unless said fine is remitted said Dunnin will have to ^go go to^ jail as the only means of satisfying the fine and under the circumstances we think a remission of the fine would be proper. We ask a remission of his fine.
