Governor &^c

In the latter part of 63, Allen Brownfield a resident of this County, was attacked at his own house by a man named Willet, both parties being drunk, when Brownfield killed Willet. Brownfield was arrested and held to bail by the examining Court, in the Sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200) The Court justified the killing, but as Brownfield was addicted to drinking held him over to sober him if possible. He was married to a clever woman, the Mother of four children and the owner of a small homestead. I became surety for Brownfield taking a mortgage for my indemnity from himself and wife Brownfield became alarmed and left the state and judgt went against me as Surety at our last Oct term Mason Circuit Court for $200 & costs. The wife has a hard time and will suffer if her property is sold in satisfaction of this debt. Brownfield has lately joined

161st Ohio Regt. At the request of the lady I petition you to remit so much of the fine as is due the Commonwealth and I am informed by her that Mr Thomas the Commonwealths Attorney has agreed to give her all or the larger part of the balance

Respectfully
