Williamsburg Ky March 31st 1861 Dear Governor

Dr. A. R Barton was fined at the present term of the court $40 for being engaged in a small game of cards; Dr Barton assures me that did not know any thing was bet on the game. I know that the Doctor is no gambler and I never heard of His being engaged in a game when money was bet, until this time.

Times are Hard the Doctor would fully appreciate a remission of the fine.

Respectfully Your obt servt John Dishman
