Springfield Ky —
Novr 28th 1862 —
Hon James F Robinson —
Governor of Kentucky —
Dear Sir —

Enclosed find the Petition of Mr Henry H Alsman for the remission of a fine imposed on a charge of carrying concealed weapons —

I am intimately acquainted with him and have been from his infancy, and have never heard him charged with anything wrong.: he is a sober industrious young man: he now resides in Lincoln County and the persons who have signed the petition all reside in the neighborhood where he was raised and resided until a year or two ago —

If you can do anything for him, please enclose the paper to me at this place —

Yours Respectfully

R S Peters
