Lebanon Kentucky
Sep 2d 1865
To his Excellency Gov. Thos. E. Bramlette
Frankfort Kentucky

Your petitioners citizens and residents of Marion County Kentucky would respectfully represent that John Lampkins was by a grand Jury of Marion County indicted for the offence of "Suffering and permitting gaming upon his premises" at their June Term 1865 of said Court, said John Lampkins came in open court and confessed Judgement ^for^ $200. Your petitioners think that the case is one in which executive interference is demanded and would respectfully ask that your Excellency pardon & remit the said fine. Your petitioners say that sd Lampkins is a poor young man just commencing in business, and of good character, & if the fine has to be paid will result very oppressively to him.
