To his Excellency
James F. Robinson Gov. of Ky.

The undersigned citizens in and near the Poplar Plains in Fleming county Kentucky state that they are personally acquainted with William Beaucampe and have known him for ten or twelve years- that Beaucamp is a peaceable orderly man- But a man of spirit and will resent insult and wrong- He is and always has been a true and law-abiding man and decidedly for the preservation of the national Union- He is a mechanic and has a family to support and raise by his labour — We also knew John Keithly some of us personally and some by reputation and he is a man of very bad character — reputed to be an outbreaker in almost every way — we understand that Mr. Beaucamp desires to remove to the state of Illinois but before he can go he wishes to get rid of two Indictments against him one for cutting John Keithley and the other for carrying concealed a deadly weapon- We believe Mr. Beaucamp has stated the facts in his petition to your Excellency which will be sent with this and we most earnestly pray your Excellency to reprieve said Beaucamp from said Indictments.
