Louisville, Ky, Octo 30th '53
Govr Bramlette
Dear Sir.

I am sure the public good will be promoted by the prompt exercise of executive clemency in the case of Frank Gorin Esqr indicted in the Jefferson Circuit Court —

It is unnecessary to comment on the character and history of Gorin — He is proud of his state, and has been ever ready to strike for his country —

You know him well, and as the party aggreived Mr Wood is satisfied, a great state has no reason to prosecute such citizens

I hope you will find it consistent with you duty to interfere —

I am
with great respect
Your obt servt
Joshua Tevis
