To His Excellency, The Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,

The undersigned would respectfully represent to your Excellency, that at the February Term 1865, of the Boyle Circuit Court, he was indicted for dealing Faro, and fined therefor $500. Of this Judgment he has already paid the fees of the Commonwealths Attorney and the Clerk. He admits that by the importunity of a few personal friends, he did privately, violate the law in this particular, but regarding the unfortunate termination of the game, your petitioner believes that he has already paid a sufficient sum for this violation of law, and hoping that he may not again have occasion to appeal for executive clemency, he earnestly prays for a remission of the judgment aforesaid

Danville Feby 18. 1865
George Ashlock

The undersigned Citizens of Danville respectfully unites with the petitioner in asking that his fine may be remitted
