Stanford Kentucky Septr 13th 1864 To His Excellency Gov. Thos E. Bramlette Frankfort Ky. Dear Sir.

Your petitioners Nancy Jane Smith and Margaret Ann Smith, would repsectfully represent to your Excellency. that they were indicted and fined $20, each. at the present term of the Lincoln Circuit Court for retailing. They state that they are very poor and to some extent helpless -- Both of their husbands belong to the army or did belong to the army. The husband of Margaret Ann died in the army and the husband of the other was cripled in the army, and is unable to labor for a support -- Such whiskey as they sold was done purely to mantain themsleves -- they hope your Excellency will deem this a fit case for executive clemency.

Respectfully A G Huffman M D J. W. Hughs W. B. Berry. J. P. D M Lyon R Blain Isaac Singleton Geo W Evans Joe. Severance Nancy Jane Smith Margaret Ann Smith J B Arnold George McRoberts MD H P Young Wesley Rout Alfred Skinner D. W. Vanderveer
