Mayor's Office,
Louisville, Ky.,
Friend Bolling.
Can I, without trespassing too much on your kindness, again request another favor of you? I'll risk it; so here goes. The Enclosed petition to the Governor, I would be pleased if you would present for me. It is lengthy, but not too long to present a fair statement of a case deserving Executive Clemency. The statement of the clerk, accompanying it, shows that the statements in the petition are sustained by the record, which I apprehend would dispense with any further statement or that of any of our citizens should join in the prayer of the petitioner. I hope our worthy Executive may find sufficient relief from his Engagements & especially the Military troubles, to have time to read the petition.
I would be glad to have the remission, if granted, mailed to my address
Yrs very truly.
Robt J. Elliott.
