Tompkinsville. Monroe County.
October 27 1864.
Hon. T. E. Bramlette Govr. of Ky.

Sir. with this I send you a petition for your consideration and ask your clemency. Daniel Pickerel the person charged in the original warrant of arrest & held to bail by an examining court to answer and appear in the Monroe Circuit court did as stated in the petition Join the 37th Reg. of Infantry vols. of Ky. soon after he was held to bail and before the indictment was found and has been in the service of the U S. A. ever since The bond was forfeited in April 1864 & in Oct 1864, This pres.^ent^ month Judgment rendered against his sureties for the money $5000 & costs of suit. The clerks of the circuit & County court & the sheriff of Monroe have signed the petition, I thought they as they knew the facts to get them to assign the petition officially would be sufficient undoubted testimony of the peculiarities of the matter I hope you will find it within your province to release the securities from the payment of the fifty dollars except the costs

Your humble & obedient
W. S. Maney.
