New Castle.
To His Excellency Gov. Ky
Sir
Some 10 days ago, I wrote to you in regard to the case of Jane a Slave for murder of my sister Mrs Porter in Henry County Ky tried & convicted at Owenton this fall. I wished to know when she will be executed — I am fearful that she will be arrested from the Jail — There is Sir a great fear that it will be done.
May I call your attention to the letter I wrote a few days ago — Please address me as Soon as you can.
Yrs Respy
