His Excellency Thomas E Bramlet. Governer of Kentucky
Dr Sir
I would not address you this — letter — but fearing that the press of public business & calls of public duty, have caused you to overlook a petition, signed by a great many of the most respectable citizens of Maysville in behalf of a poor-ignorant Irish man — I therefore address to call your attention to the matter — if [hapily] it has escaped your attention It is the petition of PatrickNyland of this place or rather in his behalf. the petition of
of many citizens of Maysville well & personally known to yourself — The petition was forwarded to you at Frankfort, some time in the early part of August last — but no response has been received by Clerk of Mason Circuit Court — Your early attention to the matter, will much oblige the many petitioners whose names are therto signed, as well as your very humble fellow citizen &c
J. K. Sumrall
