Gov Bramlette,
Dr Sir, At the last term of the Circuit Court I was fined for selling playing cards Fifty Dollars ^and costs^ I had sold but one deck in perfect ignorance of the law and furthermore until this case the law had never been enforced, I am unable to pay this fine from the fact that under Gen Burbridges permit system of permits I was compelled to abandon business thereby almost depriving me of a liveing, Under such circumstances I am sure that you will think that I was perfectly innocent in selling that deck of cards, Hopeing earnestly that you will remit my fine
I remain
Yours Truly
James P Maybery
Kenton Cir Ct
