To His Excellency Bramlett Governor of Kentucky

Your petitioner William T Hunter would respectfully represent that he was a private in the Co D 39th Ky Mounted infantry and during his service said Command was in Johnson and Morgan Counties. That he was a faithful Soldier during the time of his inlistment and that the County of Morgan was largely in favour of the rebels -- He states that he was in Johnson County at the time a rebel by the name of Moses Preston pretended he was robbed of some five hundred dollars in money and your petitioner believes he so pretended to get him to pay him something -- He staes that he was in the County of Johnson when a Dutchman by the name of Newburg lost some goods and Newburg and Preston caused him to be indicted -- One Indictment is for grand larceny and the other also for grand Larceny -- He states that he is also Indicted in the Morgan Circuit Court for horse stealing in one case and for grand larcey in another He states that these prosecutions are set on foot by men lately in rebelion against this Union for the purpose of annoying and breaking him up He states that he is a Young Man of good character and fair prospects and he thinks it is hard to be harrassed & broken up by the men whom he assisted to stop in their mad attempt to break up his government Under these Circumstances he hopes your excellency may find it consistent with a sense of public duty to grant him
