To His Excellency B, Magoffin Governor of Kentucky,
The undersigned citizens of Garrard County, respectfully represent that James Duddleson is now confined in the Penitentiary of this state — and they believe unjustly confined- & that the Judgment & verdict of the Jury in the case was erroneous — That he is a man with a wife and two young children who have no means of support, and look to him and his labor only for it, and are with out property & means of support & Kneed his labor & assistance for support & for bread, — they testify that he has always been a man of good moral character & a law abiding citizen, and never until his trial- in the Mercer Court was he charged with any office, — but has always been esteemed as a good citizen, we pray that your Exlc will pardon him, and restore him to his family —
