Brandenburg th 1863
Gov. Robinson
about four years ago Webb. & Webb were fined here two hundred Dollars for suffering gaming on their Wharf Boat, The Game for which they were fined was a game of Euchre by four persons who were waiting for a Packett at which drinks were bet. there was no intimation that they ever suffered any other Game
Since the fine was assessed one of the Defts Capt. Ge o W Webb. raised a Company here for the 12 th Cavalry & died in the service from exposure following Morgan, he left a Widow & family of small children & a nominal estate The other Deft Peter A Webb is a young man with little means & cant make any on account that he with several of us has had for near a year to be continually on the alert to resist Guerrillas that have continually menaced this place the truth is the Government has left this place to look out for itself & I expect we will several of us be cleaned out before another Winter I think this fine ought to be remitted if any ever should have been. Will you be kind enough to do it. Ob tly &c
