Somerset Ky Septr 29th 1864 Gov. Bramlette Dear Sir --

Wm McQuery was indicted at this term of the Court and confessed Judgment for $250.00 for permitting gaming in his house. I talked to the witnesses and they stated to me that the only card playing was for treats for one little thing and and another -- that Mr McQuery was poor. and unable to pay so-large a fine without in Justice to his family and I have been prevailed on under the circumstances to represent the facts to your excellency and ask for clemency in this case -- The strict letter of the law was against him, though I dont beleive its violation was intentional or for gain.

Very respectfully M H Owsley
