Thomas E Bramlet
Governor of Kentucky
We the undersigned Citizens of Webster County would respectfully represent to your Excellency that John C Lively a citizen of our County and an old & illiterate man was fined at the last March Term of ^our^ Circuit Court the sum of $60 for keeping a "Tipling house" Mr Lively through the U S Assessor applied for and obtained a U S lisence to sell liquor and he represents to us, and we have no doubt but that he did honestly believe that this was all that was necessary to render the selling legal. And as soon as advised of his error he quit selling and has not sold any since. For these reasons we would earnestly ask of you Excellency to remit so much of said fine as by law you are authorized to do
