The undersigned respectfully represent, that at the present term of the Christian Circuit Court, George Long a free man of Color, was found guilty upon the trial of an Indictment for assaulting a white man and fined the sum of One hundred dollars, and imprisonment three months That said boy has been raised in Hopkinsville and has always sustained a good character, and no charge was ever brought against him prior to this — That he has a wife & three children dependant upon his daily labor-
From said Boy's character heretofore, and the character of the testimony against him, We recommend him to Executive clemency, and humbly petition your Excellency to release said imprisonment, and remit such portion of said fine as you have the power to do
