Louisville Nov 3d 1865. To His Excellency Thos E Bramlette, Govenor of Kentucky,

This will acompany a petition for the remission of a fine imposed by the City Court of Louisville on one Lewis Rose. -- The amount of the fine is only $60. and costs, but yet, the petitioner is not able to go himself or pay any one to go for him to Frankfort to seek Executive Clemency. He requested me to write for him and enclose the petition -- the names of the subscribers, he deemed sufficient for all purposes.

I was not employed in the case in the city court nor was any one else, for the petitioenr.

But I know the man -- and I full endorsed and subscribed my name to the petition.

I feel so confident that your Excellency will grant the relief sought by the petitioner, that I deem it unnecessary to say any thing farther.

Very Respectfully, Robt W Hays Atty @ Law

I am no habitue of the Police Court -- refer to R R Bolling, W T Samuels, Alvin Duvall & others.
