Lebanon Ky Oct 24/65
To his Excellency
Gov. Bramblett

The undersigned would most respectfully state that at the FebyJune Term last, of our Marion Circuit Court George Graves had a judgment to go against him in favour of the Commonwealth of Ky for $200. for "Suffering Gaming on his premises" —

Believing him to be an exceeding clever young man, and just married to a very hansome and amiable young Lady and we think will sin no more, We beg your Executive clemency in his behalf,

Yours truly
