To his Excellency Thos E. Bramlette Governor of Kentucky

The undersigned citizens of Union county Ky will represent to your Excellency that Mathew Spalding (of Color) was fined fifty dollars by the Police Court of the town of Morganfield in said county for carrying concealed a deadly weapon. Said fine was imposed on the 27 day of August 1865.

They respectfully recommend said boy and his case to the Executive clemency, upon these grounds, towit Mathew whilst a Slave and since his liberation has always been a first rate character for honesty and good demeanor. He is and has been all the year faithfully at work trying to support himself and his family, -- consisting of a wife and two small children.

He was in the U. S army and, like nearly all the negro soldiers, was induced to buy a pistol when discharged.

The subscribers are credibly informed that at

2

the time the offence was committed he has the pistol on his person with the sole view of selling it.

Upon these considerations the undersigned request and hope that Your Excellency will remit his fine.
