Lancaster Mch. 12th 1865 Dear Gov.

I have Examined the petition which will be presented to your Excellency for the benefit of Dr Armstrong, who seeks to get his fine remitted, and am satisfied that the statements therein contained are substantially correct and beleive unclear all the circumstances no harm could result from a remission, I have consented to deduct from my fees in the case. As I know Dr Armstrong to be a clever gentleman, with rare exceptions an orderly and peaceable citizen and the whole affair the result of a drunken spree in which Dr A. sometimes unfortunately indulges; and which turned out in the end more a farce than a reality --

Very respectfully Yr. friend -- M, H, Owsley,

Gov. Thos E. Bramlette Frankfort Ky
