Paris 23rd July 1863 His Excellency James F Robinson Govenor of Ky Dear sir

I enclose a petition of Jack Jackson for the remission of fines. I have no doubt the facts set forth in his petition are true. he was very tight when the bet was made on County Court evening. He is a brother of Billy Jackson of Scott. aalso and is a very honest, kindhearted clever man, and I suppose you have often met him in your practice here.

The petition has but five names to it, be cause it was deemed unnecessary -- I suppose almost every man in the County would sign it if we called upon.

Respectfully Yours &c R. H. Hanson
