Bowling Green. Ky. September 3rd 1864 Gov Thos. E. Bramlette Frankfort. Ky.

Your petitioner T. D. Hastings would respectfully state that some months ago, he was engaged in selling Sutler's goods in the Town of Bowling Green Ky; and not being aware of the existene of the law requiring a license for the sale of playing cards, in the regular course of his business he sold some packages of cards, without first obtaining a license. At the July Term 1864, of the Warren Circuit Court, your petitioner made no resistance to the indictment found against him for the aforesiad offense, and was fined therefor $50 25/100. Your petitioner feeling conscious of his innocence, and knowing that he did not willfully violate the law, asks your Excellency to release him from the afsd fine so far, and to such an extent as you have the constitutional power.

Very respectfully T. D. Hastings

The undersigned citizens of Bowling Green Ky state that we are personally acquainted with your petitioner T. D. Hastings; that we believe his foregoing statements to be true, and we earnestly but respectfully join in the prayer of his petition
