Lexington Ky
Dear Sir
I now enclose the application for the pardon of [...]My nephew, Frank Key Morgan, concerning which I spoke to your when last in Frankfort. I have delayed sending it till now, on account of the absence of the Commonwealth's Attorney, from whom it seemed best to get a verification of the statement of the facts.
I beg to assure you, Sir, that we appreciate the obligation you have laid on the friends of young Morgan by the prompt kindness with which you suggested that you would grant this pardon upon a petition being presented for it, and we only hope that an occasion may soon occur when we may manifest our sense of it
Will you be kind enough, if the pardon be granted, to have it transmitted to me.
With sentiments of respect & Esteem, I am, Sir,
Your Obedient Servant
F K Hunt
His Excellency
Governor Bramlette
