To his Excellency Tho E Bramlette,
Govenor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The undersigned citizens of Woodford County. having understood that James Jewell of Versailles was upon his confession fined $200. for permitting gaming &c in his house, and had or would petition your Excellency to remit said fine, most respectfully join in any petition he may make for such purpose — and for these reasons —

We Know him to be a sober man, quiet in his habits, inoffensive and not prone to violation of law.

We Know that he Keeps a quiet orderly house, — and although selling liquor, yet he makes every effort (in which he is more successful than most others in his business) to keep down noises and disturbances of every character.

He is Just commenceing life and to enforce the penalty would put him to an inconvenience that those older established could not appreciate

We therefore ask your Excellency to remit said fine so far as you have the power to do under the constitution and

laws of Kentucky
