To His Excellincy Beriah Magoffin Governor of Kentucky

Your Petitioner Henry Stickrod states that at the April Term (1861-) of the City Court of Louisville he was fined $50, -- for carrying concealed a pistol. He is a young man, and poor -- His business was that of a Coal Boat hand between Louisville, and New Orleans. Since the suspension of such business, he has been unable to make more money than his necessaries of life demanded He had the pistol on a trip to New Orleans and upon his return home to Louisville, he carried it out in town with him, was arrested & fined. He did not attend the trial, was absent from the town city, or he could have shown circumstances, which would have acquitted him. It was a prevalent custom at the time, to go armed. He is unable to pay this fine & asks a remission

Respectfully Henry Stickrod

I heard the trial of the above men mentioned case & know from an intimate knowledge of M Stickrod & his busines,s (at that time,) that it would be well enough if a remission was granted as petitioned for --
