Hartford Ohio county Ky, April 4th 1864 To his excellency Thomas Bramlett Govenor of ^the^ state of Ky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that at the present term of the Ohio Circuit Court he was fined that James W Daniel upon was fine upon three indictments as follows viz: one for breach of Tavern bond the other two for gaming -- in the aggrigate three hundred dollars, breach of tavern bond one hundred & fifty dollars for gaming $75 -- each -- The breach of the tavern bond was for the same gaming charged in the two indictments for gaming which is twice he h three times that he has been charged for the same offense

That said James W Daniel has always kept & entertained travellers with all the accommodation usual in the country ^& always forbid^ & never permitted any gaming in his house or upon his premises ^by his consent^ & we your petitioners believe that he was indicted through malice & we believe that his is a case that deserves your clemency, we therefore hope that you will remit his fine so far as you have the power and we will be under lasting obligations to your excellency
