Versailles Oct 24. 1865 Messrs Jno M & Jas Harlan Gentlemen

Mr Jno W Harris a worthy and clever citizen of our county, to whom I introduce you, will be in Frankfort to-day with a petition asking the Governor to remit a fine imposed upon him by the Fayette Court.

I Know that the statements in the petition of Harris are true, because I was present at the trial, aided in defending him, and of course heard all the testimony I fully concur in all thepetition that is said in the petition of Harris, of the jury, and of our citizens all of whom you know, and can safely recommend to Governor Bramlette. Any aid you can render Mr Harris will be duly appreciated by him

Truly yours &c Tho P. Porter
