Sir.

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that at the DecemNovember Term of the Jefferson Circuit Court 23 indictments were found against George Harrison and 18 indictments were found against T. Featherty and 6 indictments were found against Mike Carrot They are charged with dealing cards dealing at gaming tables. They were simply the Employee of Mr. [...] [...], and as there are Eighty four indictments against him it would seem to be proper to relieve them from this liability. We therefore respectfully request your Excellency to pardon the several offenses.

The statements contained in the foregoing petition are true. The petitioners are very poor men, & I respectfully Join in the prayer of the petitioners for a pardon of the offense
