To his Excellency the Governor of Kentucky,

Your petitioner Joseph R Logan states that at the August Term of the Garrard Circuit Court 1860 a judgment was rendered against him for the sum of $50,,00 for an assault.

He states that at the time the offence was alleged to have been commited he was unfortunately addicted to occassionally spreeing & was at the time under the influence of strong drink.

He states that he has reformed, & is now a sober man, & has a wife & child to support, & in these war times it is as much as he can do with convenience, a^as^ he is now an exemplary man he most respectfully asks your Excellency to remit said fine.

Joseph R Logan
Jany 13^th 1862.

We the undersigned citizens of Garrard County join in the above petition & pray for a remission of said fine
