Gov. Bramlette,
Dr Sir
There is a Suit pending in this court in favor of the commonwealth v. Saml Brown for passing counterfeit money — his Bond was taken as forfeited & his securities N M Couch, Jesse Marks and E M Springfield in good faith paid the forfeiture $150, over to L M Lowe then Commonwealths atty. believeing that he was authorised to receive it, Lowe never accounted for it but went South at the out break of the rebellion. Execution is now out against these securities for the debt. and ^they^ asks the clemency of the Gov. in their behalf I believe their case meritorious & if you can consistantly remit the fine it will be kindly received
Yours truly
Jno Barret
