Paintsville, Pike Co Ky.
Dec. 20^th '65
Hon Gov. Bramlette
Dr Sir

At the present term of the Johnson Circuit court I had to take Judgement aginst J. C. Castle & Moses & Frank Preston — the first for Tippling Selling to minor $60 — the second party (partners) in one case of selling to a minor & in one case of Tippling.

These sellings happend in '62 & '63 — & the Legislature having suspended the limitation law in the county — the court had to take notice of these acts now.

The parties above kept houses of public entertainment — but had no license on account of there being no officers & no law in the county, to issue the same — The armies were here some-times, & while they did not make it a business to sell, some was sold to officers & others, at different times.

They are gentlemen who are opposed to law-breaking as much as much so as any one, & are good citizens — & I thought it my duty to make this voluntary representation of their case — believing that under the circumstances the fine should be remitted
