To His Excellency Hon. Thomas E. Bramlette Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The undersigned respectfully states that in the month of October 1864 he was a private in Co. H. 12th Ky Inf. and had been in said Co. nearly three years. That during that month and only for that time he was keeping a "victualling house" at Point Burnsides. and had permission from Capt. Roff. Provost Marshal in the district at that time to sell liquor in connection with the other business. -- That at the Chancery ^and Criminal^ Court holden at Somerset ^Ky^ in July 1865 judgment was rendered against him in the sum of ($60) sixty dollars, for keeping a "tippling house." That he denies the keeping of such a house He always made as good use of the liquors as he could. --

That he has four children to wit: Sarah Jane aged 17 years Thomas S. aged 15 years. Minerva M. aged 12 years and Nethia C. aged 6 years. That the oldest has always been a cripple and that none of them are able to do anything towards procurring a livelihood. That he was in destitute circumstances at the time above referrred to. That his pay as private was not sufficient to support his family which was the reason of his selling the liquer for which he was fined. That the Rebel soldiers have taken quite a part of his property and that if he has to pay the fine it will be a serious damage to his family as he has a hard time to support them now. --

He therefore prays that the fine & so much of it as your Excellency has authority to remit be remitted. And as in duty bound will ever pray.

George ^his X mark^ W Hardick
