Frankfort
To His Excellency
Thomas E. Bramlette
Gov of Ky
Dear Sir,
If You will extend Mercy to the within named William Spencer, you will greatly oblidge the undersigned, and confer a favor on his family in N Y, for which, I am sure, they will ever thank Your Excellency.
William Spencer is an orphan — a mere boy, and in a Moment's temptation gave way, urged on by those who were older. Trusting that You will extend that Mercy which takes up so large a share of your heart,
I beg leave to Subscribe My Self
Your Excellency's Most humble Servant, who ever prays for Your continued health and prosperity
W L Jermane.
