To his Excelency Govenor Bramlet

The undersigned Citizens of Webster County Kentucky would respectfully represent to your excelency that J. Calvin Baker of this county was fined twenty five dollars by the Webster Circuit Court at its March term 1864 on a charge of a breach of the Peace that the evidence on the tryal was very slight and only circumstantial and that there were mitigating circumstances which would excuse if not justify said Baker even if guilty and we believe that his is a case in which the exercise of executive clemency would be proper and right

We would threfore must respectfully & earnestly request yoru excelency to remit so much of Said fine as is due the Commonwealth
