Mt Sterling Ky July 26th 1865
His Excellency
Thos E Bramlette
Governor of Kentucky
Governor,

Enclosed you will find a Petition signed by our Judge, asking that a Reward be offered for the arrest of Garrett Ballard

You will remember I mentioned the matter to you when here, and you said you would offer the Reward, but the Statutes must be complied with first: which I think has now been done: and I think the Petition states all that is needful. Excuse me for troubling you with my letters so often. Hoping you will offer the reward as asked by Mr Poynter,

I am
Your Obdt Servt
William H. Holt
