To His Excellency Governor Thomas E Bramlette Governor of Kentucky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent to your Excellency that Jack Jefferson was at the Term 186 indicted by the grand jury of Trigg County for the crime of Vagrancy, and was admitted to bail in the sum of one hundred Dollars for his appearance at the next Term of the Trigg Circuit ^Court^.

They say that T. B. Jefferson was his surety on said Bail bond; and that sd Jack Jefferson did not appear at the succeeding term of the Court owing to sickness -- that said Bail bond was taken as forfeiture & a summons issued thereon against sd Jack Jefferson & T. B. Jefferson -- They say that sd Jack Jefferson is now a private in Company commanded by Capt. Lewis Buckner, 52nd Regt. of Ky. Volunteers, and was at the Feb. Term of the Trigg Circuit Court 1864 when judgment was rendered on said Bail bond against his surety T. B. Jefferson for one hundred Dollars & costs, & dismissed as to Jack Jefferson, They represent to your Excellency that T. B. Jefferson is a very old man being upwards of eighty years of age, in very infirm health, & has little or no property, that he has barely the means of subsistence to last him through his declining years, that under all the cirucmstances it would prove a great hardship for him to pay sd Judgment, that in fact it would strip him of the means of support. The premises considered, your petitioners respectfully & earnestly pray your Excellency to remit the part of the fine going to the State & as in duty bound will ever pray &c
