Bowling Green Ky. Apl 18th/63 To the Hon J, F Robinson Governor of Ky

Your petitioners beg to present the case of Charles Buckhanan, who was fined by the Warren Equity & Criminal Court ^at its August term 1862 for Fourteen Dollars^ for permitting slaves to assemble at his house -- The circumstances as we understand them are that several negroes met at sd house without the knowledge consent of invitation of sd Buckhanan & that often they had been there a short time sd Buckhanan ordered them to go to their respective homes. It was during Christmas week & the slaves were generally permitted by their masters to spend the week pretty much as they pleased -- Buckhhanan is a poor man with a family to support, & works well so far as we have ever heard & is not able to pay sd fine without taking the necessaries of life from his family -- Therefore we ^(his neighbors)^ most respectfully petition that he be released from sd fine -- With much respect we are your humble petitions
