To the Governor of Kentucky Thomas E. Bramlette. Dear Sir;

At the December Term of the Kenton Circuit Court. 1864. I was fined, and theJudgewithoutaJury in two cases, one for selling liquor to John Cure, and one for selling liquor to C Sandfoos, I had the written authority and the Verbal consent, of the Fathers of both the young men, to Sell them liquor -- whenever they wanted it, They are close neighbors and good Industrious young men, who very seldom drink, one of them had only drank three times, and the other about the Same. I thought that general authority was all Sufficient, and both the parents thought the Same. I am a law abiding man, keep a wayside country Tavern, never allow, noise and tumult about ^my House^ am not a lawyer, nor a litiguous man, am a physician by profession; and think the costs and the commonwealths fee Attys fee, a severe punishment for-- Ignorance, ofthelaw, and hope your Excellency, will concur in the Same, view, and grant me a remission of the Two fines.

Yours truly. David Whitehouse
