We, the undersigned citizens of Jefferson County and Neighbours of Presley Ashby, do respectfully but earnestly request that the Governor of Kentucky will pardon the said Ashby — He was sent to the Penetentiary for Manslaughter —

Ashby when sober, is an industrious, worthy man — His principal offence was drinking he has been sufficiently punished — Ashby has a wife & three children dependant upon him —
