To his Excellency the
Governor of the Commonwealth
of Kentuckey
Sir
We the Citizens of the State of Kentuckey residing in the immediate vicinity of Mr Wm A Clark, who has been fined by the Circut ^Circuit^ Court of Pendleton County ^at the
The penalty against him is $200,,00/100 which we do think is entirely out of reason.= Mr Clark is a man ^that is 19 years old and^ that bears a good reputation among us, and did not think that he was commiting a breach of the law as it was his intention to take out license as soon as his house was prepared —
We respectfully pray you, for the remission of his fine, (believing that those who testified against him, done it out of personal ill will) and we remain obedient servants
