Louisville 18 June 1863 My dear Sir

Mr John O Ross a respectable citizen of Jefferson County had a little difficulty with a citizen of Louisville in which he struck a blow with his fist once, inflicting no injury of any consequence. He was indicted in the Police Court of Louisville and was fined fifty dollars -- He used no weapon and as I have stated no injury of any consequence was done. He has paid to the Man that of the Court thirty five dollars & 25/100, the costs and the amount to which the atto for Commth is ^in the letter^ He now asks at your hands a remission of the remainder and if you should decline to grant it, he trusts you will give a respite. His affairs are

very much embarrassed and he feels himself unable to pay the balance of the execution at this time

I hope you will grant his request Very respy Yr obt srvt Nat. Wolfe

His Excellency Gov: Robinson
