Sherburne Ky August 12th 1864 To his Excellency Governor Bramlett

Dear sir I Just want to make a firm statement of facts to you concerning a fine or or Rather fines Some time ago afthere was an affray between Mr Caleb Ralls and Mr Wm Vice and Mr Daniel Ralls & Mr Wm Vice & Hiram Dailey for which the parties was all arrested and tried and the Jury acquited Vice in both Cases and also acquitted. Hiram Dailey and fined Caleb Ralls $4-25 cts and Danl Ralls $8-. and I was the Justice before whom the cases was tried. and I do think that the Jury acted illegal and from the testimy all parties was equally guilty and all of them ought to have been fine a small fine but to acquit one partie that is equally guilty and fine the other I do not think it is wright Caleb Ralls and Dan Ralles are both hard working men are very poore Men and I will say to you in all cincir that they are sober discreet men and good citizens but accidently got in to this fight, and I have known them both for 12 or 15 years and this is the first full that I ever heard of either of them gettg into

Therefore I would Respectfully ask you to Remit their fines of $4-25 cts & $8 -- as above stated and by so doing you will not only confer a favor upon them but as I think Justice with it if you do see fit to Remit the fines please direct to W H Webster Sherburne Ky

Yours Fraternally W H Webster J. P. F C
