Louisville Ky Octor 1865
To
Hon. Thos. E Bramlette
Governor of Kentucky
Sir

I would respectfully state that on the 13th day September I was fined ($600 x/100) Six hundred dollars — on an Indictment found against me by the Grand Jury of the City Court of Louisville I would respectfully state that I have paid thereon ($100 x/100) one hundred dollars

I suggest that the sum thus paid is likely sufficient — I am poor not keeping that character of house called first class; — a house where wealth is used to gild the immorality and lure the youth into them, and from paths of virtue

I shall obtain the signatures of some of the citizens to join in my prayer for this exercise of the Executive clemency

I shall ever pray &c.
Mary Ryan

We the undersigned citizens of Louisville would respectfully request your Excellency to grant the prayer of the petitioner

Wm Hipwell
