To his Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The undersigned citizens of Pendleton County and neighbor's of Wm. H. Gardner state that said Gardner was fined under an indictment from in the Pendleton Circuit Court in the sum of three hundred dollars and costs ^at the Oct Term 1865 of said County^ under the charge of keeping a gambling house in said County some five years ago. The gambling took place in the bar room over which a man by the name of Brown had the exclusive control, and over which said Gardner assumed no control. Said Gardner is a poor man, and we recommend him under the circumstances, to your clemency, Dec. 17th 1865,
