Governor of the Comonwealth of Kentucky
Frankfort Ky
Dear Sir — I would humbly Recommend to your Mercy Milton B. Cox hewho has been Sentenced to the State Prison of Kentucky for the term of five Years. From the ^best^ and most reliable information that i have relative to his trial it is apparent that there existed prejudices agan against him. which deprived him of Justice — See the accompnying petition — Milton B. Cox is a Young man who I believe was generally regarded as a worthy
Youth, until he was charged with the robbery for which he was convicted
Respectfully
E, K, Blanton
