To His Excellency, W. E. Bramlette, Govenor of Kentucky:

Your Petitioners respectfully represent that at the June Term of the Henderson Circuit in 1863, a Bill of Indictment was found against Joseph C. Price on a charge of assault and battery, and warrant issued for his arrest. When arrested the Sheriff allowed him to give bail in the sum of One Hundred Dollars for his appearance at the next December term of said court. He gave a bond for that amount endorsed by E. W. Fray & John H. Jennings: That at the December term, 1863, in accordance with the bond the said Price did appear at court, — that the trial did not come off and Price then went into the army and he is now in Indiana. The said Price not being here to attend court; judgment will be taken on the said bond, at ^the^ term now in session. Your petitioners respectfully ask that Your Excellency so far interpose your clemency as to remit that proportion of said forfeiture as would go to the Commonwealth and release the said ~~for~~ Fray and Jennings from the payment of the same.

Very respectfully yours &c

E. Y. Parsons.
