To his Excellency Govr Bramlette

A fine was imposed at October term 1863, by the Mason Circuit Court on Worsham P. Clayton for $300, charged with a breach of his bond as a tavern keeper, which consisted in his permitting unlawful gaming in his tavern.

Mr Clayton is an old man, in very limitted circumstances, with a wife and large family of children to support. He is unable to maintain his family by manual labor.

We are no apologists of the offence for which Mr Clayton was fined, and would not trouble your Excellency about the matter if Mr Clayton was able to pay the fine without greatly distressing his family.

We hope that your Excellency, in view of Mr Claytons pecuniary condition, & his inability to labor for a Subsistence, will remit this fine- if not the whole of it- as much as you consistently can. April 5th 1864
