To his Excellency Thos E. Bramblette Gov. of Ky

The undersigned petitions the Gov to remit so much of a fine which was assessed against of $20 assessed in 1860 costs $9.30 cts in Franklin Circuit court for selling a drink of liquor — His case has been respited from time to time according to the record until now the shff is pressing him for it — at the last election he was litterally eat out of every thing by the Federal Soldiers who were sent down to Bald Knob, ^and all his good clothes taken by them^ and he is now in consequence of the times unable to pay the fine without distressing his family

The officers are Kind enough to promise to release their costs — He has never sold a dram since & never will

Resply
John Brewer

Jno Brewer we know & believe it would be right to remit the fine — He is ^a^ hard working man of weak mind — But sober & disposed to do right — We believe it would be charity to his family to let him off we have not heard of his ever having violated the law but the once & dont believe he will do so again
