Covington July 25. 65
To His Exc Gov T E Bramlette
Dear Sir

Sometime last Dec I was induced to become surety in the triel bond of accused Wagng for the Sum of 100$ to appear before the Kenton Cir Court to answer to any indictments that might be found agst him. Wang was present during the 1^st 2 or 3 day's of the term but was induced to volunter in the Army & his trial was forfeited. & I repleved it the other day — He (Wang) was chg was petit larceny & from the limited knowledge of the case am inclined to the belief that he was wrongfully accused & hope that your Exc will remit said amount & —

Wang was indicted by grand Jury after he volunteered — [...] never heard of him since he left — M^r Gray of Moore & Gray attys got me to go in his bond as he stiled the case a malicious one —

With Respt
Yours Truly —

Over —

Mr. Hamilton was induced to Sign Wang's Bond by my partner M^r Gray. Wang was induced to reenlist in the army having previously served 3 years. We were sure (as we well could be) that Wang would be cleared of the Charges, upon a trial & M^r Hamilton did not sign his bond to enable him to escape justice.

Respectfully
C [...]

I would be pleased of the prayer of petitioner by granted

Geo G. Perkins.

I very respectfully join in the request of M^r Hamilton and further, would recommend it
