Grigsby & Robinson,

Lexington, Ky. March 8^th 1865
His Excellency Gov Bramlett;
Frankfort Ky;
Dear Sir;

M^r Warnock the bearer of this, has been indicted by our Grand Jury for dealing farro. — We would beg leave to say in behalf of M^r Warock, that he is a poor man or at least in moderate cirucmstances, and with a large family dependent upon him for a support. We have known him long and well, and have always known him to be a man of integrity and peacable and quiet in his demeanor. He is a liberal, social gentleman, and as he will tell you has dealt Faro, for other gentlemen, but the fault of his dealing has always been that of those who bet against him more than of himself. We have never known or heard of his dealing for men who were not of sufficient age or in a proper condition to be perfectly

responsible for themselves, or of his ever doing any thing to inveigle or entice persons to felony. — While such a character is an exception among men who deal Farro, we would respectfully submit M^r Warnocks case as one one worthy of your Executive Clemency.

We are Gov, truely
Your obdnt Svts
L B, Grigsby
