To His Excellency Govr Bramlette

The undersigned residents of the City of Frankfort represent to your Excellency that Richard Parker was fined $500 and costs in the Police Court of the City of Frankfort on the 1st Sept 1865 for a breach of the peace.

That the said Parker committed the offense under cirtcumstances which should in our Opinion greatly excuse him, as he was threatened and menaced by Kremens (whom Parker assaulted) and Your Petioners Knowing well the good character of Parker pray that the fine against him may be remitted.
