Dr Sir
We the undersigned Citizens of Nicholas County would respectfully represent to your Excellency that John H Sims a Citizen of this County was fined at the last September Term of our Circuit Court Twenty nine dollars & costs of the prosecution for unlawful gaming and we would further represent that the said Sims is a very poor man — unable to pay the fine & heavilyburdend with a family We feel satisfied that he will not thus violate the Law again as he is now conducting himself in a very exemplary manner & demeaning himself as a good Citizen generally In view of all the circumstances of his Case with which we are intimately acquainted we venture to recommend him as a fit subject of Executive clemency & petition your Excellency to remit so much of his fine as the Law permits you to do
Respectfully yours
