Dear sir.
I herewith enclose you the petition of Wm R. Terry for your consideration. I hope you will examine it and if his is a case that merits your clemency and you see proper to extend it to him you will confer a great favor on my friend who is poor but an industrious, hard working Farmer,
I have permanently located at this place. I hope to see you in Frankfort this winter while the Legislature is in session — very Respectfully
E, Butler
