To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlett
Govenor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky=We the undersigned citizens of Trimble County Kentucky would most respectfully represent to your Excellency that at the May Term of the Trimble Circuit Court for the year 1864 Our worthy fellow citizen James Voiers was fined the sum of twenty dollars for gameing — I. E. Pitching Quoits or Dollars, now we represent that the sd James Voiers is a clever industrious and poor young man — and is not and has never been in the habit of Gameing in any way — that we believe he at the time he committed the offence was wholy unaware that he was committing any violation of Law, we would therefore request your Excellency to remit sd fine and as in duty bound we will Ever pray.
