Burlington Ky May 26th 1863 James F Robinson Governor of the Commonwealth of Ky Sir

Enclosed I send you the petition of the Grand Jury recently empannelled in this county asking your Excellency to relieve David Creeger a citizen of Boone County from six fines against him

The facts I believe are as stated in the petition & under the circumstances it would be but just to exhonerate Mr Creeger from the payment of those fines If your excellency should so conclude please forward the remission as soon as your convenience will allow or Capias will issue & Mr Creeger probably have to go to jail as he does not possess enough property to pay those fines He has friends who would probably replevy for him -- but I think he would not ask them -- for to take all from him would & not very he could not support his family & relieve his surities
