Hon Thos. E. Bramlett
Dear sir
I am well acquainted with Mrs E Gibson she is a widow woman and has to labour in the field for support for her self & daughters she has had Two Sons in the federal army one of them searved three years they are of no benefit to her this is a case that merits the Executive clemency
I have been sheriff of Todd County five years she has paid all cost in this case while I was acting sheriff I think now it would be an act of kindness to remit the ballance of the fine
Yours Respectfully
J. L. Christian
