Louisville May 11th 1865 Hon Thos. E. Bramlette

Mr Michael Mathias who is a clever man and a good citizen request me to send you the enclosed petition for the remission of a fine of $50, entered against him in the Police Court for an assault and battery

I was present at the trial. There was no witness for the Commonwealth except the man with whom he had the fight and I am satisfied he gave an untruthful statement of the facts, hence the Jury fined Mathias $50.

This petition is signed by the Police Judge Johnston the city atty Reasor &c and by the neighbours of Mathias

I hope you may feel that you can remit this fine.

Yours Truly Jno. W. Barr
