To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlette

We the undersigned citizens of Louisville and neighbors of William Brockman recently sentenced to ten years confinement in the penetentiary for the murder of Adam Adolphe, by the Jefferson Circuit Court, learning that the counsel for the accused were about to petition your Excellency for his pardon would respectfully represent that the accused is a man of bad character and of notoriously violent disposition, that his punishment in this case is milder than he had any reason to expect
