Williamstown, Kentucky,
To His Excellency,
Thomas E. Bramlette, Governor of Ky
The Undersigned, at the request of Mr. George Williams of this County, (Grant) would state that he has lately been fined the sum of $50 for carrying concealed weapons, whether justly or unjustly it is needless to say — that he is an old man, and served in the war of 1812, and fought in defense of his country bravely — that he being old and poor is unable to pay said fine without greatly lessening his means of support, having ^no^ one to depend upon but himself to supply his wants. He therefore prays you to remit so much of said fine as ^is^ in with your power to do, and send to my care the evidence of its remission; all of which I heartily concur in.
