To his Excellency Thos E Bramlett Gov. of Ky.

We the undersigned Petitioners would represent to your excellency that heretofore, there was an indictment found in the Trigg Circuit Ct against W C Thompson for keeping a tipling house in Trigg County, and that at the August term of Said Court 1860, the case was tried and a Judgment rendered against him for Sixty dollars. it being the Penalty of Sd offence.

Now we would respectfully represent that the Said W C Thompson has for many years been a citizen of Trigg County, and is now about Sixty five years old, and after raising a large family of females all of whom have left home, he is now in a State of destitution, laboring hard from day to day for a livelihood. we would further Say that he has ever been a truly law abiding man, and a worthy Citizen.

and believing that it would operate a hardship upon him, under the circumstances to pay the Judgment, We think his case merits Executive clemency, and we petition your excellency to remit Same, and we will as in duty bound ever pray. &c
