Carlisle Ky July 25th 1864 To his Excellency. Gov. Bramlett

Sr On the 28th day of May last one Samuel Jobb a free man of Color, of this (Nicholas) County was found guilty of having committed an assault & Battery & his ^punishment^ pun was fixed at fourteen & a half days' imprisonment in the county jail & twenty nine & 30/100 dollars besides costs of prosecution & in addition to that he was placed under bonds to keep the peace for one year

He has served his term of imprisonment but the, fine remains unpaid

We the undersigned, who are citizens of Nicholas County & know the said Jobb would represent to your Excellency that the s'd Job is old. -- being upwards of fifty years of age -- & that he is very poor & we think that under all the circumstances the fine ^punishment^ imposed was excessive & unusuallysevere & we therefore respectfully request your Excellency, on his behalf, to remit his said fine, bleiving as we do that by such an act of clemency on your part the ends of justice will be subserved

We are, Sir, with great respect yours &c
