Tompkinsville Monroe County Ky

Gov^r Tho^s E. Bramlette, enclosed you will find a petition asking the Executive Clemency in behalf of Jno H. Deckard of this county The petition is short, and was drawn hurriedly but it is thought it contains facts meriting ^the^ clemency of your Honor. There are many circumstances connected with the matter that would tend in favor of M^r Jno H. Deckard, but it was thought ^not^ necessary to state them.

I hope you will release him of all the fine except the cost. M^r Jno H. Deckard is a feeble man, getting old and a gentleman of irreproachable character & no one to help him. If I had been in Scottsville I should have got some men to sign the petition there. Please write to me on the Subject & if You see proper to release ^him^ I shall be glad to receive the information and feel that You have brought M^r Deckard under many obligations & done in the premises the wishes of all acquainted with the facts of the case.

W. S. Maxey.
