Sharpsburg Ky
Gov. Bramlette
Dear Sir
There is a very poor woman in this neighborhood who appeals to your clemency
some time ago her somn got into a difficulty in Carlisle and to keep him from going to jail Noah Goodpasture (his father) went his security and swore he was worth the required amount, now the only property they have is some land bought and owned by the wife and Mother and earned by her hard labor now she fears if this money is not paid her husband will be prosecuted and taken from his family.
The young man has left the state and thereby accomplished what the citizens of Carlisle desired.
In view of these facts I hope you will feel that it is not inconsistent with your duty to remit the penalty as far as Noah Goodpasture is concerned I think it is $500 —
With my best wishes for you
I am very Respy
Yr friend
Dear Gov
