Scottville Ky
Gov Bramlet
Sir
Enclosed you will please find the petition of Mr Guy a citizen of this county whos "humble prayer is for mercy" at your hands allow me to say that the facts of his case are correctly set forth and that he is truly an object of pity under the circumstances, ignorance of his duty or what the law in such cases required was the cause of his failure to comply with his band The old man's Son is a wild reckless boy and I fear a bad man but the offence with which he is charged grew out of the fact that in a drunken spree he rode one of his neighbors horses to a still house for more whiskey and did not get back untill the horse was missed The endorsement of the old man is by the best men in the County
Yours respectfully
G. M. Mulligan
