To His Excellency

Dear Sir
The enclosed letter of J W Crockett Esqr explains fully this petition, In view of the facts stated therein, I respectfully ask a remission of the fine against me
Yours truly
R. G. Beverley
I cheerfully unite in requesting your Excellency to remit the fine against my friend R G Beverly, who is as high toned as respectable a gentleman as lives in Henderson County- and as far from knowingly violating the law as any man in the state of Kentucky.
