Frankfort Ky May 20, 1865 To the Governor: A. Craig respectfully states:

John Hancock was on the 15 Jan'y 1865 fined ten dollars and costs ^in each of two cases.^ on the Police Court of Frankfort for disorder, and to prevent him from going to jail I became his surety. The fine disorder was the result of drinking, but since the fine Hancock has been orderly and soberly. Hancock is a laborer, and has no property subject to execution, and unless the fine is remitted, I will have to pay it. Hancocks drinking was accidental, and ever since these fines has been attending to his business, & I believe will behave in the future.

I respectfully ask for a remission A Craig

We unite in the petition for the remission
