Louisville,
Sir,
Neither of us know young Mr Brown nor have ever heard of the cirucmstances under which the killing was done. We have known Joseph Brown's father for several years & regard him as a worthy & industrious man — Knnot knowing the facts we can not advise, but would be pleased to hear that your Excellency could find in them grounds to pardon the young man.
We are Sir, most respectfully
James Speed
