To his Excellency
Beriah Magoffin
Govenor of Kentucky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that at the last June Term of our Kenton Circuit Court at Covington one Frederick Baker was indicted, tried & convicted of stealing some apple trees and sentenced to one years confinement in the Penitentiary, where he now is. We think that the said Baker is a fit subject for executive clemency and that ifwrong in this thing and by your interpostion turned loose upon Society he will make an hoourable and useful citizen as he no doubt was before this trial.

John Scott
