Somerset Ky, May. 30th 1865
To his Excellency Thomsa E Bramlett,
Govenor of Kentucky

Sir Your Petitioners would respectfully represent that at the March term 1865 of the Pulaski Circuit Court a Judgement was rendered against William A Girdler for the sum of Fifty dollars on forfeited recognizance. the said Girdler being the surety of Levi Rothschild in bail bond,

We would respectfully represent that was by no fault of the said surety the said Rothschild did not appear in court to answer the charge against him, And that the said William A Girder is a very poor man, and unable to pay the Judgment against him with very great inconvenience —

We therefor ask your Excellency to remit the said Judgment on forfeited recognizance except the attorneys fees and costs —

Please mail reply to W H Pettus, Somerset Ky,^
