Mr Grant Green
Sir- I enclose to you address a Petition for an old friend of our county and one of your old democraticconstituents
The facts stated in the petition I know to be true, since I defended him and they were proven on his trial as alledged in the Petition — I am a stranger to the Governor and for that reason have not enclosed it to him directly,, I hope you will present the Petition to him and give me such assistance as the character of case requires — Let me hear from you soon,, And by so doing I will be placed under lasting obligations to you
Very Truly &c
R. W. Wake
P. S. Pleas to urge the matter immediately before the Gov. since executions are out & the officer is urging Asbridge up to settlement
Wake
