To His Excellency The Governor of Kentucky
The petition of Jane Hull and others respectfully sheweth
That W. J. Hull had now, for more than three years, been in confinement in the Kentucky Penitentiary for felony. We believe that if any length of confinement will work reformation in the human heart, that his confinement is sufficient for that purpose. We believe he is penitent.
We further respectfully state to your Excellency; that the Jane Hull the mother of W. J. Hull is old, feeble, and helplessly poor. That she greatly needs his labor for her support-
We believe he may be pardoned by your Excellency with safety to the interests of society, and with incalculable advantage to his old and widowed Mother, and your petitioners &c &c
