Annapolis May 20th 1862
His Excellency
The Governor of Kentucky
Sir:

I have the honor of herewith enclosing a copy of certain Resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of Maryland at its recent session deprecating the continued agitation of the Slavery question, and appealing to our bretheren in the several loyal States of the Union to forbear from the discussion of a theme already so fruitful of evil —

I beg that you will take a suitable occasion to submit these Resolutions to the attention of your Legislature.

With great respect
Your obdt. Servt.
A. W. Bradford
