Morganfield Union County Kentucky January the 13th 1864 His Excellency the govenor of Kentucky

I was in court when the fines spoken ^of^ in the foregoing petition were assessed- and I was fully Satisfied from all that was developed on the trial that the old man (Gough) was wholly unconscious that he had violated the laws of this Commonwealth, by performing the acts for which he was Indicted- he is quite and old & poore man a good quiet peacible & honest citizen & if relieved as prayed for in the foregoing petition he will sin no more yours respectfully

To His Excellency T. Bramlett. Gov. of the Commonwealth of Kentucky Sir.

Your petitioners (the subscribers hereto) would respectfully represent that at the Spring terms 1862 and 1863 of the Union Circuit Court Mr. J. Gough was fined twice by said Court once at the Spring term 1862 the sum of ten dollars for retailing liquor without a license and the other at the Spring term 1863. for selling in an open place twenty dollars both suits attended with burdensome costs. Mr Gough is a good citizen of our county an old man now in the Sixty Eighth year of his age and laboring for his own support and said fines are very burdensome to him Wherefore we your petitioners humbly pray Your Excellency to remit said fines and release the poor old man from their burdens
