To his Excellency the Governor of Kentucky —

The undersigned citizens of Hickman County, will begask to be permitted to represent unto your Excellency, that at the present Feby Term of the Hickman Circuit Court, Mr. George Irvin was convicted upon a charge of Larceny, and adjudged to be confined in the Penitentiary of the State for one year — Now we would state. in view of all the facts surrounding the case, we believe it would be Just and proper and evidently merciful for your Excellency to interfere in his behalf — He has been raised in our midst, by honest and upright parents, has married into a highly respectable family has a wife and two small children entirely dependant upon him for a support, he is poor and has to labor for the support of himself and family, who must be left in entirely destitute circumstances, and we believe, if he is even guilty at all, that he has suffered enough already — Wherefore we pray your Excellency, if you can conceive it to be consistent with your duty to interfere between the sentence of the court and the unfortunate prisoner, and set him at liberty, — Mch 3d 1864
