Louisville. Aug. 7. 1865
Gov Thos E. Bramlette
Dear Sir

On the 10th day of July Ult. you remitted the fine against Barton & Link as Securities for J. V. Gilbert — (This Remission is enclosed) Mr Gilbert is not to blame in this matter — It is the same offence really which you remitted before — and I know that he has not committed any like Offence since — He has since then wholly abandoned all games — May I ask that you will also pardon & remit as to him. — This Recognizance was forfeited on account of the severe illness of Mr Gilbert. which forbid his appearance in Court. — Please return it to-morrow.

Yrs. truly
H. C.Shivell

The Court will dispose of it on day after to-morrow if not pardoned.
