J F Robinson Governor of Kentucky.

Your Petitioners would State that at the September Term 1861 of the Powll Circuit Court a Judgement for $20.00 and Costs was rendered in said court in favor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky against John F. Holly for the offense of gaming. Mr Holly is a citizen of Stanton Powll Co. Ky. a clever man and a good Citizen, We would further State that he is a poor man with a helpless family to support. Considering these hard times, especially in the mountains where the necessaries of life are Scarce and command almost fabulous prices we feel ^assured^ that your Excellencys clemency in his behalf ^at this time^ will be duly appreciated by this Community. Mr Holly is a loyal man to his government his attention and liberality in feeding union Soldiers fully attest this fact
