His Excellency James F Robinson
Govenor of Ky
Dear sir
I enclose a petition of Jack Jackson for the remission of fines. I have no doubt the facts set forth in his petition are true. he was very tight when the bet was made on County Court evening. He is a brother of Billy Jackson of Scott. aalso and is a very honest, kindhearted clever man, and I suppose you have often met him in your practice here.
The petition has but five names to it, be cause it was deemed unnecessary — I suppose almost every man in the County would sign it if we called upon.
Respectfully Yours &c
R. H. Hanson
