To His Excellency J. F. Robinson Governer of the State of Kentucky.

The petitioners would respectfully represent to your Excellency, that G. G. Knapper was indicted in the City Court of Louisville for an assault committed on the person of E. Noll and at the October Term of said Court 1862, was fined in the sum of Fifty dollars, the commissions on the amount and costs of the case amount to nearly thirty dollars and Mr. Knapper is a poor man with a family to support. We are well acquainted with Mr. Knapper, he is an inoffensive man, and we never knew him in a difficulty before. We are acquainted with the facts of this case and feel fully warranted in saying that the assault was not of an aggravated character. We respectfully ask your Excellency to remit the fine against the said G. G. Knapper.

W. R Hydes Jr Phil Tomppert Jr Wm Springer Marcus Cohen Louis Goodman Theodor Droppelmann Mr Knapper is a quiet & industrious man & from all the circumstances Known before the trial & from what I have learnedsince the trial, I think a remission of $25 -- of the fine would be well Enough.

W, G, Reasor, City Atto Geo. W. Johnston
