Louisville,
To the Governor of Ky.
Dear Sir;
There is an indictment pending in the Jefferson Circuit court against F. Gorin, Esqr. for shooting W. C. Wood, esq. I am satisfied the trial of the case would do no good to the public, while it would be very grievous to him. He is very sensitive on this subject. I trust you will pardon him at once, as there can be no doubt of your ^power^ as well before trial as after. I have just been talking with Mr Wood, and he desires it should be done.
very respectfully.
Henry Pirtle.
