Elkton May, 12th 1865 To His Excellency Govenor Bramlette Dr Sir

We the undersigned Citizen of Todd county would represent that Jesse Russell a citizen of this County was recognized to appear as a witness for the Commonwealth in the Christian Circuit Court on the 2nd day of its September term ^1864^ to testify in behalf of the Commonwealth against Jesse Gray upon a charge of Fellony. Mr Russell informed us that he was mistaken as to the day, that he was of the opinion he was recognized for the 3rd day in the place of the second, at the March term thereafter Judgement was taken against him for One hundred Dollars on said forfeited recognizance and the execution is now in the hands of the Sheriff of this County for collection we would represent Mr Russell as an honest, industrious and good citizen and hard pressed for money in fact he is owing more than he can at present pay having been nearly if not entirely ruined by the rebellion
