Covington Ky
July 26th 1865
To His Excellency
Gov Thos. E. Bramlette
Governor.

The inclosed petition was sent to me from Bath Co Ky with a request to sign and forward it to you.

I left Sharpsburg in the fall of 1863 — hence I know nothing of the facts as set forth in sd petition only that the said sharp is a very poor man.

His Father & Mother have both been dead for Many Years leaving two small daughters which the sd Sharp had

to support and educate. He is a Cousin of mine & one of those Clever men, — liberal to a fault.

The men who have signed the petition are his neigbors and person^a^lly Known to me. They are good Citizens

If Your Excellency can Consistently remit sd fine it be a great relief to him.

Very Respectfully
Yours
W. S.Sharp. MD
