Greenville Ky
July 26 1865.
Gov Bramlette
Dear Sir

Thos Jenkins of this county asks me to sign a petition to remit a fine mentioned in the papers herewith sent. I do not know enough of the particulars of the difficulty to make any statements about the matter. But this I will say that the parties signing the petition are nearly all members of the Court & I suppose know the facts. I (with the signers) hope that you will remit that portion of the fine due the State, and Thomas promises that he will in future try & keep out of such scrapes.

The amendment is gaining ground & we hope to carry our county.

Yours
Edwd R Weir.
