Lex. Ky. August 12. 1865. To his Excellency the Governor of Ky.

Your Petitioner, Jacob Heiligers, states that he came to Kentucky a few days since, ignorant of the laws of the same, and procured when he arrived here, a litimited States license ^& a city license,^ to peddle, thinking that these were all that waswere necessary.

He thereupon commenced peddling china ware; and was on the 9th day of august 1865, fined $100 -- for this offense before the Judge of the Fayette County Court. He understands that it is in the power of your Excellency to remit all of this except the ofCounty attys & informers fees & the costs; and he hereby respectfully asks you to do so. He is a poor man with a family dependant on him for support, and he does hope that in these facts of the case, you will see a proper occasion for the exercise of Executive clemency.

Jacob Heiligers

The above is substantially true and I join in the recommendation to remit the fine except costs
