Gov Bramlette
Dear Sir —
I have prepared the papers enclosed — believing that he richly deserved Executive Clemency — Mr Kennedy is an excellent citizen — an upright just man — fervant in his devotion to the Union — and only obeyed orders. I most earnestly join in his prayer — for deliverance from the prosecution — and that those joined with him may also be relieved — before — and without the expense of a trial — As Home Guards — they received no compensation but have sacrificed losses of time and means in this service —
Respectfully Yours
John F Fisk
