Hartford Ohio county Ky, Oct 23rd 1863. To his Excellency Thomas E. Bramlett govenor of Kentucky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that at the last term of the Ohio circuit court James A Thomas a judgment was rendered against. James A Thomas and Peter Thomas for sixty dollars each under an indictment for keeping a tipling house in the town of Hartford, The house was kept by said James, & Peter Thomas was only a small boy who was attending to business for his Uncle James -- The circumstances are these. at the commencement of this war we had no one in this town who would sold liquor by the small with the exception of a secesh tavern keeper and we Union men were resolved not to purchase of him, we therefore called upon Mr Thomas to open a liquor establishment, which he did, and did sell it by the small, which we consider was necessary under the circumstances, he considered continued to sell until a loyal tavern keepers opened bars for the purpose, and then he discontinued & has sold none since by the small. Now we do believe this is a proper case for executive clemency, and we ask you to remit the fine as far as you can and you will confer a great favor upon us who was

were the cause of the opening of said establishment
