To his Excellency Gov. Thomas. E. Bramlette

Your petitioners respectfully state that at the May term 1865 of the Harrison Circuit Court a judgement for fifty dollars on a forfeited recognizance was rendered against John. L. Shawhan as security for Nancy Buck in the case of the Comlth vs her on a charge of larceny: Nancy is a free woman of color & was raised in Mr Shawhans family: after she had executed bond for her appearance at the Nov. term 1864 of the Harrison Circuit Court she left the state & her bond was forfeited it is represented & your petitioners believe truly that she was forced to leave by some negro soldiers who were very active about that time in sending off contrabands Mr Shawhan is a highly respectable good citizen of this county -- a Kind hearted honorable gentleman & your petitioners believe his to be a case for the proper exercise of Executive clemency they therefore respectfully ask that said forfeiture may be remitted
