To His Excellency, Beriah Magoffin, Govenor of Kentucky. Dear Sir,
We the undersigned citizens of Caldwell County Ky, have long known Thomas B. Wadlington & he has ever been considered a good & true hearted citizen, Known & noted for his industry & his peaceable & orderly conduct. The difficulty in which he was engaged with Milton A Cartwright, did not appear to us to be of his own seeking, nor are we satisfied, nor do we believe the case was fairly present to the jury, as it actually occured. We hope your Excellency will review the case & give the poor man, the benefit of any doubt. And we desire that his case may judged in mercy & regarded with favor, and that your Excellency will take into consideration, any circumstance that ought to operate in his behalf, And we desire that your Excellency may be persuaded that it is consistent with your duty to extend to him Executive Clemency, and that his life may be spared, either by a full pardon or by a commutation of his punishment
Yours respectfully
