To
His Excellency, Beriah Magoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
We the undersigned citizens of Caldwell Lyon County Kentucky (formerly a part of Caldwell County) have long Known Thomas B. Wadlington, and he has been considered for many years past, a good, and true hearted citizen, Known & noted for his industry and 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 that the case was presented to the Jury, as it really occurred. We hope your Excellency will review the case and give the poor man the benefit of evry doubt, and we desire that his case may be Judged in mercy & regarded with favor. And that your Excelleny will take into consideration evry circumstance, that ought to operate in his behalf, and we desire that your Excellency may & will 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
