Gov Bramlette —
Sir,
Mr Wm Boswell asks for Executive Clemency — I heard the trial and discussion about the "Ginger Wine", the only Liquor sold to the Minor. Mr Boswell has been in business some five years — and so far as I know or believe, this is his only offense. He is clearly a clever gentleman — and one who tries to obey the law. I think this a fair case for executive clemency
Respectfully Yours
John F. Fisk
His Excellency
Gov. Bramlette
