To his Excellency Thomas Bramlett
Gover of Kentucky —

The undersigned Citizens of Madisonville & Hopkins County would respectfully represent that our Fellow Citizen Benjamin J Pritchett — was fined a few days Since In our police-Court, the Sum of ten Dollars on a charge, of assaling — One of our Citizens by drawing a gun with in probable distance for the gun to carry —. We understand that Mr Pritchett, did draw or raise his gun but believe it was not with the intention — of shooting as the gun was unloded and otherwise out of repair — we Know M^r Pritchett to be A very poor man, and that he has a large and helpless Family — and think him in Evry way — deserving Executive clemency
