To his Excellency the Governor of Kentucky

The undersigned would respectfully represent that at the November term 1863 of the Washington Circuit Court William Chambers was indicted for keeping a "Faro Bank" and at the May term of said Court thereafter said Chambers by consent of the attorney for the Commonwealth confessed judgment which was accordingly rendered for Five hundred dollars upon which fi.fa. has issued and is now in the hands of the Sheriff of Mercer County Kentucky

They would suggest that said Chambers is a man of family of limited means and that his case is one peculiarly calling for your Excellenc'y s clemency. We would therefore petition that you remit the fine and in duty bound &c.
