To his Excelency Beriah Magoffin Esqr Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Whereas Abijesh Burns a citizen of owsley (Co) was indicted for carrying Consealed deadly weapons. and at the May term of the owsley Circuit Court 1861 was tried and fined $50,, your petitioners would respectfully State that he is a very poor honest hard working man and very quiet peaceable man and owing to the great Scearcety of money we believe that if the Collection of sd fine was pressed he would be forced to go to prison

therefore we your petitioners would respectfully ask your Excelincy to remit so much of sd fine as is in your power to remit beleeving it is a case worthy of Executive Clemency
