To His Excellency Thos E. Bramlette Governor of Kentucky --

The undersigned citizens of Anderson County and neighbours of A C Thomas would respectfully ask of your Excellency to release the said Thomas of a fine of 60 dollars which was adjudged against him at the July Term of 1864 of the Anderson Circuit Court for keeping a tippling House. -- We are satisfied that it will be oppressive on him to collect this fine off him -- He is a poor man with a family entirely dependant on him for support, which he has to do by his labor -- That he is an industrous and sober man, and a good citizen and is far from wishing to violate the law as any man -- We therefore earnestly but respectfully ^ask^ that you will release him of his fine, for we know that it will be oppressive and distressing to himself & family for the Same to be collected of him --
