In behalf of Mr W. G. Gray I write to beg you to remit the fine imposed on him, because of his attack on Mr Ronald, Mr Gray bought a claim of a man, Who lost the amt at cards, & Who plead the gambling act to recover back, what he conceived he had been -- swindled out of, Mr -- Grays name appearing ^on the papers^ as one of the parties -- claiming the money. Mr Ronald, asserted, in the -- company of several Gentlemen, he, Gray, had plead the gambling acts, Believeing what Ronald said was true. I told the father

believing he would not punish his son to do such a thing.

Wm Gray was so much incensed at the remarks of Ronald, he sought him out & I believe, hit him once or twice & hence the suit, These are the facts & I hope will justify your granting the petition sent you.

I am Yrs Very Respty J. W. Osburne

His Excellency -- T. E. Bramlet Esq. Frankfort

N.B.

Mr Gray is a very Exemplary young man, never either drinks or plays Cards, & is deserving of your kindest consideration.
