To his Excellency Beriah Magoffin
Governor of Kentucky,
Your petitioners, ladies of Frankfort, respectfully represent to your Excellency, that a Convict Augustus Eisner by name is now confined in the Ky. Penetentiary, whose term of service has nearlyexpired — said convict is a Gardener of Skill and experience —
We ask your Excellency to pardon sd Convict
1st Because we believe from all we can learn of the circumstances of his conviction, that he was not guilty of the charges preferred against him.
2d Because we believe him worthy of Executive Clemency,
3d Because if liberated now, he could find employment here before the season expires —
Lastly, we urge this petition because we believe your Excellency will grant this request to the Ladies of Frankfort —
