Gov. Bramlette:
I unhesitatingly join in the request to your excellency, so universally expressed by this community, for the pardon of Col F. Gorin.
The act for which he is indicted was committed under the excitement of the moment, without any malice, and I am sure no man regretted it more or sooner, than Col Gorin.
You know Mr Gorin's standing, character and age, and no representations in this regard are necessary
