Maysville Kentucky February 16th 1864 To his Excellency Gov Bramlette

Dear Sir: In the Spring of 1861 Jno Morgan of this County, hired me as a hand to sell various articles, including Spiritious Liquors at a Barbecue in this County, I at the time did not know that it was improper for me to act as Bar Keeper of Morgan as he was a tavern Keeper & I thought he had a right to Sell any where, and I supposed that he and not me was responsible. But I found out that I was mistaken as both Me and Morgan were fined $60 each at the July term of the Mason Circuit Court for the year 1861 I was poor and unable to pay at the time and the fine was respited for one year. Since then My three Boys have all joined the Army and two have died in the service, and it will almost ruin me left as I am without help & I respectfully petition your excellency to remit the fine

Abner Hall
