Governor Bramlett,

Your petitioners, who are citizens of Caldwell County Ky., would respectfully state that at the November Term of the Caldwell Circuit Court ^in 1862^ James H. Withers was indicted for grand larceny in taking Bank Notes, Silver Coin &. c. from A. C. Mayes, that the said James was then only some sixteen or seventeen years of age, that he has not been seen in the State since the finding of said indictment, that it is understood that he is in the state of Tennessee, that he is physically unable to labor but little and is dependent on the generosity of those who are not related to him for a support. That the father and mother of the said James, though in quite limited circumstances in life, hold a high position, in this Community for honesty truth and Christian deportment, and are much respected by all who know them We would most respectfully ask that your Excellency pardon James, so that he may come home and be supported and cared for by his parents.
