To his Excellency
Govr. Thomas E Bramlette

The undersigned, would respectfully state that at the July Term 1860 of the Clark Circuit Court, he confessed two judgments against him upon two indictments in said Court for two small games of Cards, that he participated in for amusement in Clark County Ky, wherein 5 cents a game was won and lost That he did not so to wilfully violate the Statute to suppress gaming.

That since then he has abstained from further indulgence in said vice; and hopes to maintain his resolve not to do so again He says that he never was a Gambler in the meaning of that Term And I pray your Excellency to remit said fines, as I have quit all such practices,

W. F. Goosey
