Gov Bramlett
Dear Sir:
A petition I learn will be presented to you for the pardon of F. Gorin Esq for the offence of shooting and wounding W C Wood. I have known Mr Gorin long and intimately, and feel well satisfied from the facts I have learned in regard to the case, that there was no malicious purpose on the part of Mr Gorin but that the unfortunate act was the result of momentary excitement, and now deeply regretted by him — Mr Gorin is a worthy and valuable citizen, and I think it would not only be an act of clemency, but of justice to grant him a pardon — and I most earnestly but respectfully ask that it be done —
very respectfully
Your friend &
obt sert
A. Harding
