Pendleton County Apl 29 1862. Kentuckey To his Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentuckey Sir

We the Citizens of the State of Kentuckey residing in the immediate vicinity of Mr Wm A Clark, who has been fined by the Circut ^Circuit^ Court of Pendleton County ^at the april term 1862^ for selling liquor without license,= The said Clark came into our State in the year 1861 and commenced putting up a house for the purpose of keeping a tavern, and as soon as he had the necessary facilities for so doing, he then took out license,

The penalty against him is $200,,00/100 which we do think is entirely out of reason.= Mr Clark is a man ^that is 19 years old and^ that bears a good reputation among us, and did not think that he was commiting a breach of the law as it was his intention to take out license as soon as his house was prepared --

We respectfully pray you, for the remission of his fine, (believing that those who testified against him, done it out of personal ill will) and we remain obedient servants
