Bedford Ky Jany 21 1861 Dear Sir

Affixed to this letter is a petition to the Governor to remit a fine against Barney Wells of our county, he only had a little fight with Mr S. Jackson who it seems was as willing or more so than him to engage in one and now is in jail.

If you will attend to this early it will accomodate not only him but all of the Signers to the paper

Let me hear from you early as is important if attended to at all

Yours Respectfully S Gatewood T. E. Skidmore

N. B. Early attention if you please
