Governor Bramlette
Dear Sir
I have made every effort to get the affidavits of soldiers that were at the barracks at the time that King was arrested, but the barracks have been broken up & the soldiers have been moved & mustered out of service, so it will be impossible to do so I filed grounds for a new trial before King was sentenced & had several witnesses in court to prove that Millon & Hoosier were both at the barracks at the time the deceased was killed. I have every reason to believe that the affidavit made by King for a continuance of his case is True,
I hope your Excellency will grant him a pardon
Very Respectfully
J, H, Price
