Madisonville Kentucky July 12th 1864 Governor Thos. E. Bramlette Dear Sir

We Would state that we are citizens of Madisonville & of Hopkins County Ky & that we are acquainted with W. T. Osburn and that we feel Confident that he would make no statement but what was strictly true & that we have no doubt but that he sold whiskey at his bar without taking the oath required by the act of Our Legislature approved Feby 21st 1863 simply because he did not know that there was any such law and that our County Court Clerk Thomas W. Campbell Esqr had not received the acts of the Legislature & did not know himself that such was the law --

We believe that your Excellency would be
