Louisville Ky Mch 17/62
To his excellency the Governor of Ky.

Your Petitioner Mary Kennedy of the City of Louisville State of Kentucky would respectfully request of you the exercise of your clemency in her behalf and especially as this is her first offense. She states that she was fined, in the City Court of Louisville Ky. on the 6^th March 1862 to the amount of $20 and costs for selling liquor in violation of law. She states that she is very poor and has two children to support, and that the necessities of her family constrained her to resort to this sale — which she much regrets. She earnestly invokes your clemency and prays for a remittance of the fine thus imposed upon herself. She, with pleasure, refers you to the following endorsements. and solicits your immediate attention to her application.

Sir

I would recommend the foregoing application to you very favorable Consideration. She lived with me for several years and I can endorse her as a truthful woman — very poor and very industrious. I think she will profit by this one violation and that her condition &c entitles her case to your executive Clemency

Very Respt
