To his Excellency
Thos E Bramlett
Governor of Key
Respected Sir —
The undersigned, will Respectfully state to your Excellency, that they are the Jury that tried James McCawley & Wesley Garrett for Keeping a gaming house in the Town of Blandville, We further State that the evidence was barely sufficient to warrant us in finding a verdict against them, We therefore, think from all the circumstances connected with the case, that it is one that deserves Executive Interposition,
Very Respectfully
your obedient Servants &c
