Frankfort
To His Excellency,
Thomas E. Bramlett,
Gov of Kentucky.
Your petitioner, Tom Lee (a free man of color) would most humbly, and respectfully represent to your Excellency; That he was today fined Ten Dollars, and costs before the City Police Court for alledged Misdemeanor.
With all due respect for the decission of the Honorable Court, he still protests his Entire innocence, and prays that in consideration of his past good character as an honest, upright, respectful, sober, industrious man, as attested by the undersigned citizens of Frankfort, (many of whom have known him for twenty years) that Your Excellency will Extend to him such clemency as may seem proper in the case.
Frankfort
Tom Lee is a model servant and though it is difficult from his well established character to credit such a change- yet having been convicted upon trial by the court, I see no reason for Executive interposition
