Assistant Secretary of State of Kentucky
My old Friend

Allow me to tax your generosity & kindness, to intercede with his Excelency the Govenor — for the remission of a fine assessed or found against me for fifty ($50 at the June Term of our circuit court. These hard times it would realy destroy me very much to pay out So much money for nothing.

I have a very large family to Support & they are all girls & 50 dollars would go fare towards clothing & feeding them through the approaching winter.

I do hope the Govenor will remit the fine as I am or was notguilty of the misdemer for which I was fined. for Do What you can & Say to the Govenor that he has it in his power to make or releve a needy family of a burden for which they will allway hold in greatful remembrance

Your Friend Ambrose, H, Talbott
