To his Excellency James F. Robinson
Governor of Kentucky.

Your petitioners respectfully represent to your excellency that the fine agt William Able, rendered in the case of the Commonwealth vS. Able in the Louisville Police Court ^Should be remitted.^ The fine was upon a forfeited recognizance. Said Able having been recognized to appear as a witness in said Court & failed to appear. We have every reason to believe, & do believe that said ^Able^ was sick at the time he failed to appear, & was confined to his bed by sickness & has been confined to his house ever since.

respectfully.

Mr Able forfeited a recognizance in the City Court of Louisville having been recognized in the sum of $100, to appear as a witness in the behalf of the comlth Mr Able is an old man, & a resident of Jefferson County some 12 miles from Louisville. Judging from the certificate of his Physician, who is well known, & think the fine should be remitted

Respectfully
W, G, Reasor
