Pleasureville Ky. th 1863
Govenor -- James F. Robinson
Frankfort Ky. Dear Sir
You will find herewith Enclosed a petition signed by all of the Members of our Bar at New Castle Petitioning you to Remit the fine of $10= against all of Our justices in Henry County, Some of them had nothing to Report and did not attend on that account, And some of them said that they never -- were notified to attend I am certain that they intended no contempt for the Judge or the Law, Judge Nuttall very often did not hold his Courts And when he did hold them he frequently adjourned his Court on the first or Second day of the term, So it was a very uncertain Business and I do not think that our justices ought to be fined, for we have as good a set of Justices I am certain as any County in the State, And nearly all of them are true loyal men, I hope that you will Remit all that you can for them and send it to me for them,
Your friend very Respectfully
J P, Sparks
