Nicholasville Ky. Novr 27th 1865
His Excelllency Thomas. E Bramlette
Governor of Kentucky.
Sir.

Mr William Rutherford was fined at the last Sept Term of the Jessamine Circuit Court fifty dollars for carrying concealed weapons ^assault and breach of the peace^ and execution for that amount and thirteen dollars ninety five cents for costs has issued against him. Whereas there are strong mitigating circumstances in the case we believe the case to be one fit for the executive clemency and we respectfully petition you to remit so much of said fine as you have the athority to do by law.

Yours Respectfully,
W. Brown
