You will [...] among the names of those who recommend it, are those of Judge Johnson before whom the boy was tried and Priest the chief of the city police — The other names are all known to you — I could have swelled the list out indefinitely but did not think it would add anything to the strength of her claims
Respectfully &c
Tho W. Gibson
