Dear Governor
Dr Ewing became surety for the unfortunate son of a worthy and highly respectable Kinsman of his, and has thereby become liable to the Comth of Ky. for six hundred dollars. The Dr will present your Excellency with a copy of the Judgment of Forfeiture rendered against him. He will Explain to you the circumstances more fully than I can by letter.
You will readily see that it is a case for Executive clemency, I do hope your Excellency will remit the entire Judgment.
Very Resplly &
P. B. Muir
