Mt. Sterling Ky. March 11th '64 To His Excellency Gov Bramlette

Sir: At the last term of our Court an indictment was found against Mrs Emily Barnes for allowing her negro man "Alfred" to hire his own time, & having an aversion to have her name connected with a Commonwealth trial, she send me a note telling me to take judgment imediately against her, which I did for $40 --

I think it would be right to remit this, for the reason that Mrs Barnes was utterly ignorant of any wrong in the premises, & really cannot keep the boy at home & control him -- She is a pure & good lady & I am constrained to ask this of you without any knowledge or solicitation on her part, but as a matter of pure justice to an estimable friend of both yours & mine.

Respectfully Yours J. S. Drury, Comth Atty.
