Hopkinsville Ky
To his Excellency
Govenor Robinson
At the last term of the Christian Circuit Court the bail bond of John Morrissy with S. M. Bernard as Surety was forfeited. He was Indicted for Larceny & his bond was $400. Mr. Bernard was his atty & recd as Indemnity on the bond & for his fee $320 part in Term paper. I suppose Morrissey was guilty of the charge but as Mr. B. Was not fully Indemnified if consistent with your views; would recommend a remitter in part of this bond. Mr. B. will State more fully the facts of the case & his Statements are reliable.
Very Respectfully
R. T. Petree
