Simpson Co. Ky
To Govr Thos. E. Bramlette
Frankfort Ky —
The undersigned, Citizens of this County, would respectfully represent to your Excellency, That J. C. Wilkinson was arrested, & tried before the County Court Judge of this County charged with unlawful Pedling, by Sample & was fined one hundred Dollars —
Mr Wilkinson had Just arrived at our Town, & was Ignorant of our State laws, and we believe that Mr Wil[...]kinson would have been the last man to violate our laws deliberately & with a view to cheat the Commonwealth out of the license Tax imposed by law — He only sold one Small lot of Cutlery We hope in view of all the facts, that your Excellency will remit the fine — as we think his case is one that properly recommends itself to Executive Clemency —
Very Respectfully
John.N. Crow P. M.
