Gov. Bramlette
Dear Sir —
Wm McQuery was indicted at this term of the Court and confessed Judgment for $250.00 for permitting gaming in his house. I talked to the witnesses and they stated to me that the only card playing was for treats for one little thing and and another — that Mr McQuery was poor. and unable to pay so-large a fine without in Justice to his family and I have been prevailed on under the circumstances to represent the facts to your excellency and ask for clemency in this case — The strict letter of the law was against him, though I dont beleive its violation was intentional or for gain.
Very respectfully
M H Owsley
Pulaski Cir Ct
vs
Wm McQuarry
Remit
$250 —
