Louisville Apl 27th 1864. To His Excellency Gov Bramlitte Dr Sir

Some time during the year 1863 W B Hoke became the surety of Robt Johnson in the sum of one hundred dollars to appear at the term 1864 of the city court of Louisville and answer to an Indictment. Johnson failed to appear as required and the bail bail bond was forfeited & Judgment against Hoke, & he has petitioned for a remission. Since said Judgment was rendered. is Hoke we have learned that sd Johnson, Enlisted in the U S Navy and a few days before sd cause was called for trial, the Gun Boat on which Johnson was doing service, was suddenly ordered away from Louisville & Johnson with it. Since that time he has been absent; Johnson has sent letters to Mr Hoke stating his regret at not being able to appear & stand his trial -- but could not leave duty on sd Boat, Under the circumstances of what we can clearly oppined we ask a remission of sd $100.

Respectfully W. G Reasor city atto

I concur with Mr Reasor Geo W. Johnston:
