Lexington March 11th 1865 Govenor,

Theodore Krysher who will hand you this was indicted with eleven others at the Fayette Term of my (Fayette) Court for dealing Faro -- Krysher with, Webster, Warnock, Witchington, Loyd, Konkle, Edwards, & Charley Craig confessed judgt for $500 each & = Bill White, John Payne, Will Owens, and George Ashlock gave Bond and did not confess -- What I write for more particularly is to say, that Theodore Krysher is not a regular Faro dealer -- I find upon enquiry that the proof before the Grand Jury, was, that he dealt once what is called a snap -- that is by the permission of the owner of a table, he had a single deal. I do believe this is his whole connection with Faro, and I am satisfied that he is not a gambler, or I would not write for him. You know Govenor that I do not write often, and I assure you that I will only do so, in cases that I think merits your interposition if you can help Krysher you will much oblige

yours Respectfully W S Downey
