Dixon Ky July 1865 His Eccellency Thomas E Bramlette Govenor of Kentucky

We the undersigned Citizens of Webster County Ky beg leave to State that we are personally acquainted with George Davidson who was Indicted by the Grand Jury of Webster County for a breach of the peace and that at the March Term of the Webster Circuit Court for 1864 Said Davidson was fined for said offence the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, which fine we kno to be unusually and un reasonably extravagant in such Cases we would further represent to your Honor that the Said Davidson is a very poor man has a Wife and seven Infant children to support by his industry as a farmer Wherefore he now relies upon the Clemency of your Excellency to remit said fine that said Davidson is a good and peaceable Citizen and is at all times obedient and amicible to the law of the land

now in consideration of all the foregoing premises we the undersigned Citizens of Webster County would most respectfully petition your Honor to remit said fine and discharge the Said Davidson from the payment of the same as said payment will not enrich the Commonwealth and will greatly embarrass him as it were bread from the mouths of his wife and children wherefore in duty we will ever pray
