To the Governor of Kentucky

at the October Term of the Mason Circuit Court Daniel Kirk was fined Two Hundred Dollars for permitting gaming in a House in which he was acting as Bar Keeper,. Mason B. Parker owned the House and has the fine to pay, as Kirk is worth nothing whatever, Parker was not at home when the gaming took place Kirk is a clever and yielding man, and has by his cleverness got him self fined and being insolvent I am compelled to pay for his folly and wrong. I there fore respectfully petition your excellency to remit so much of that fine as is coming to the state Dec 1st 1864

Mason B Parker

I recommend the governor to grant the above petition Dec 1st 1864— I believe the facts as stated above are true—
