Louisville
His Excellency
Govr. Bramlette —
The woman Mrs Cosden who presents a petition to you for the pardon of her husband is very poor, has infant children, and we believe is an honest and religious woman —
Her husband was indicted for stealing meat & potatoes & some other things from a flat-boat- There were some doubts about his guilt in our minds and he was compelled to go to trial without a witness —
The Jury found him guilty & Fixed his term
in the Penitentiary at one year
His wife is preparing to obtain his release. Her petition is well signed. The two persons owning the property said to have been stolen are among the signers. Their names are William Madell & Thomas O'Hern. Mr. Lurner who made the arrest also signed the peitition. If you can pardon him it will satisfy the friends of the unfortunate lady who presents the petition.
Most respectfully
Baird & Price
