Gov Thos E. Bramlette
The principle in the within petition John Lampkins is a sober and good citizen of, Marion County — It is not believed by his townsmen and friends that he permits gaming for money or anything of value in his house — Lampkins resides at Raywick and in that section of the county infested by guerillas and where the Federal forces during many months could afford no protection — He says (and I presume tis true) that during the reign of terror he was not able to Exercise any control or to maintain order about his house — since the restoration of order & Law he keeps an orderly house and does not permit gaming of any kind about his house. Lampkins is a loyal union man
[...] Yours &c
