Paducah Ky Feby 14th 1864 Gov. Bramlette Dr Sir

I understand a petition has gone up to excuse Saml Miles from payment of $3000 as security for appearance of Wm Miles indicted in Ballard County for Robbery -- It is an outrageous Case & two of his comrades have been tried & convicted one 17 years (since ) the other for Jas Hudgins for 5 years Wm Miles has joined the rebel army & Saml Miles is also a rebel sympathizer -- If there was any merit in the case I would say so -- on the contrary Saml Miles & family have favored the escape of Wm & prevented recapture -- he also tried to sell his farm to defraud the court & I restrained him from doing so

A similar case also exists in Ballard in forfeited bonds of 2 or 3 Lemons for hog stealing

yours &C P D Yeiser Comth atty
