Hopkinsville Ky Januy 23rd 1864 To his Excellency Gov Bramlette

The undersigned loyal Citizens of Christian County who have always been and expect ever to be for putting down the rebellion represent, That our County is suffering evils ruinous to our Citizens and incalculable in their consequences Some time since two of our Citizens were sent to represent to Your Excellency the serious losses of our Citizens from slaves leaving & going to Clarksville & Fort Donelson, No relief has been obtained but the evil is rapidly on the increase. Some of our largest farmers & best Citizens (loyal men) are losing all except the helpless ones. In a word our County is ruined if the evil is not stopped.

Ruin drives to desperation, Shall we take the law in our own hands? or can the Executive of our state do any thing to arrest the evil We feel that loyalty & protection Should be inseperable & hope his authority will be used for our relief,
