Dear Governor:
Accompanying this you will receive a petition in behalf of A. J. Guthrie, who went on Whitaker's bond, and has already paid about $90. By the exercise of that clemency for which you are properly appreciated, you will not only be adding to your long list of friends, but you will be doing onlyjustice to a good, a reliable, trusty citizen.
Receive this in the proper spirit from one of your most willing "Aids."
Very respectfully, yours, &c
Thos D. Wright.
