I enclose you an attested copy of a Recognizance executed by Robert Enders and Henry Enders, as Security of Thomas Hines of McCracken county -- Your Excellency will perceive from the order at the bottom of the copy, that said Recognizance, was declared forfeited at the October term 1863, and Robert & Henry Enders, thro me, now ask your Excellency, to Remit the Forfeiture; Hines is dead, and died insolvent -- R. & H. Enders have been almost ruined and made poor, by the raids of Forrest, & Buford, the burning of Paducah by order of Col Hicks, by which their dwelling house & all its contents were consumed & the running away of all their negroes -- These are all facts Govenor, and please remit the forfeiture, there is no judgment -- & send to me at Paducah Ky -- Yours truly --
