To his Excellency Gov Bramlette of Kentucky

We the undersigned residents of the County of Macomb and the State of Michigan, having been informed that one Truman Hartwell of this County is now confined in the Frankfort Penitentiary Kentucky. for an offense committed against the laws of the said state, and believing from information received that said Hartwell, committed said offence, if he did so, while under the influence of liquor and knowing as we do that said Truman Hartwell, while a resident of this county was an honest industrious Young man, worthy of our sympathies, hereby humbly petition your Excellency to pardon him, out of said confinement. and allow him to return to his regiment or home,

Your petitioners verily believe that by so doing, Your Excelency, do an act of charity and even justice to the young man, and that you would merit the gratitude of his many friends here and the Esteem of your Petitioners

Respectfully we subscribe
