To His Excellency Governor Thomas E. Bramlette

Mr. Charles Meyer who has just been discharged from the Penitentiary is a citizen of Louisville and was convicted for obtaining money under false pretences at a term of our Court, during which I acted as prosecuting attorney pro tem. He desired to regain his rights and qualifications lost by reason of his conviction. If your Excellency can restore him to these enjoyments, I earnestly recommend to your favor
