Stanford Ky. May 24th 1865,
To His Excellency,
Thos E Bramlette.
Govener of Ky.
Govenor.

Your Petitioners beg leave to request that you would remit a fine of $10 — ^in the latter part of April 1865^ imposed upon Alexander Martin by the town authorities of Stanford Ky — for alleged breach of the Peace.

We would suggest that your Excellency very properly, and kindly, remitted the fine imposed upon Mr Peyton Douglass — who was fined in a larger sum, by the same authorities, at the same time. Mr Martin is a civil man — poor, and has a family to support, and demeans himself properly as a peacable citizen.

Your fellow citizens
