Governor of Kentucky

Your petition Wesley Burnett of Trimble county Kentucky would most respectfully represent, that at the May term of the Trimble circuit court he was fined the sum of Twenty five ^Dollars^ for betting a treat on a game at cards, He says he and his friends were amusing themselves as he thought and Some person present reported that they were betting money, which was not the case, He therefore prays your honor to remit said fine as he is a very poor man, and is not in the habit of gambling

And as in duty bound will ever pray &,c, &,c,
Sept 16. 1864 — Wesley Burnett

We the undersigned citizens of Trimble county Ky join the petition in his prayer &c. &c.
