To his Excellency T. E. Bramlett, Govenor of the State of Kentucky —
The petition of the Subscribers, citizens of Lyon County, respectfully Showith: That one Issac Skimmerhorn, at the haul hauled the said Skimmerhorn and delivered him to the Jailor of Said county, and Sometime after this, the Said Skimmerhorn broke the jail and fled to Illinois, where report [...] says he died. The individual debts of Elias Smith ^are^ quite small, but his Security debts amount to thousands of dollars, and will consume the greater part of his estate. That Elias Smith befriended many poor men of this county, who were Striving to get along, there is no doubt, and for So=doing his estate now has to Suffer
Your petitioners therefore pray your Excellancy to exercise your executive clemency in behalf of said estate, and that your Excellancy remit the Said Judgement, or So much thereof as may be deemed just and proper.
