Govenor Bramlette
Dear Sir

Mrs Banks has procured the signatures of a majority of the Jury who tried her husband & M^cClure, this you will see from the petition & the certificate of the clerk of the Jeff- Circuit Court. C. Henry Finck the owner of the tobacco, & Bamberger the man who bought the tobacco unite in the prayer for a pardon. You will discover many good names signed to the petition.

Mrs banks takes with her a letter from the officer of Bank's Reg in which they say he is a man of good character; they would have written the same for M^cClure had they be applied too for that purpose. I learn from the officers that they are both good men & have been good soldiers. I do hope & pray you will grant them a full pardon.

More of the Jury would have signed the petition but are absent from the city

Very Respectfully

D^r Sir.

The two men Banks & M^cClure who were sometime since brought before me charged with Larceny, I understand belong to the Army or have served a Tour of duty Each & have been regarded as good soldiers & faithful to their country. The two men Fincks & Bamberger who alone suffered by their acts have signed their Petition for a Pardon. Indeed their seems to be a general wish with those acquainted with the circumstances & the history of the two men for the past two or three years, that they should be Pardoned & I admit that I, feel the same wish that they should be released

Very Respectfully
Your obt servt
Geo. W. Johnston.
