Dear sir
I know Capt Lloyd. He is deemed here a gentleman — I learn he was indicted for gaming at the present term of the Fayette Circuit court & confesses his technical guilt. He is not deemed a gambler as I learn & has the reputation of a gallant office & is away from his home & poor — There are several cases, I have been asked to write about of a similar character — I have no connection with these cases in any way — while those in high military places have been gambling & stealing too, with a sort of general approbation it seems to me hard to hold to technical guilt a little card playing. I am no apologist of gaming, but I would let these menoff

Henry C. Lloyd petitions your Excellency for pardon from a fine imposed of $500. at the present term of Fayette Circuit court for faro dealing. He admits he is technicaly guilty but not realy, so. He has not made money by such means & only for amusement was he technicaly guilty — He has served his country faithfully as a soldier & is poor & unable to pay the fine & in poor health —
