Laconia Ky
To his Excellency Thos. E. Bramlet
Govenor of Ky.
The undersigned citizens of Jefferson County Ky would respectfully petition and represent to your honour that some five years ago Mrs Merva ^Manerva^ Jane Young of this County was indel presented to the Grand Jury and fined sixty dollars for selling spiritous Liquors without license, that said fine is unpaid, that ^the prosecuting^ prsecuting attorney has taken steps to enforce the payment &c.
Mrs Young admits that she did sell liquor without having obtained a license she being a widow in poor circumstances and having no means of making a living, She is still poor and unable to pay said fine, that it ^would^ break her up totally to be compelled to pay the money. Your petion petitioners therfore would earnestly ask you to remit said fine. Knowing Mrs Young to be an honest woman and deserving the clemency of the Governor, hoping this petition will meet your approbation we as in duty bound will ever pray &c &c.
