To His Excellency Thos E. Bramlette Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,

Your petitioners the undersigned would respectfully represent to your Honor and state that one Cyrus Clounch was the security for one Levi Bany on his bond ^one hundred dollars^ for his appearance in the Pulaski Circuit Court at its March term 1865 to answer the charge in an indictment for the crime of stealing; and state that the escape of s'd Rany was no fault of s'd Clounch and not with his consent or knowledge and that he was wholly deceived by Rany, believing him innocent of the charge thought he would stand his trial; and state that said Clounch is a good citizen, a clever man and a gentleman; a poor man with a large family and that he has been driven from his home by the Rebels and imposed upon by the armies so much that it would work great hardship upon him and his family for him to have to pay with his scanty means the above mentioned bond of $100~ Wherefore they respectfully ask your Honor to remit the said forfeiture; this the 4th day of April 1865
