To His Excellency James F. Robinson

Governor of Kentucky — The undersigned would respectfully represent and state, that on the 267 day November 1860 — he became security or bail for I. N — Camp on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses — said bail was $250. The party failed to appear and the bond was forfeited, and Judgment rendered against the undersigned for the amount — and execution is now in the Sheriffs hands for collection — The facts connected with sgoing said bail are substantially as follows — Camp had been in Jail for weeks, had become sick and was growing worse every day, until his further remaining was dangerous to his health & life — at this time his wife arrived from New Orleans and besought every one she could to go bail for her her husband — (who was not a resident of the state) and all declined — she then appealed to me, and I yielded and signed the bond. He was released & left & has so far as I know never been heard of in sthis ^state^ since — The atto. for the Comth & other costs must be paid, but for the rest I would respectively ask to be relieved.
