Frankfort. Ky. Jan 24th 64 Gov Bramlette Dear Sir,

Some time during the fall of 63 I wrote you a letter asking your influence in the case of Thos E. Coleman- a private of Co A 33d Ky, who had been sentenced to be shot at Munfordville on the 4th Sept 63. He was, however, indefinitely respited by the President who is in posession of all the facts of the case. As Coleman's health is being greatly impaired by confinement in a damp cell, I respectfully ask that you again call the attention of the President to the case, for I presume that in discharge of his very numerous duties, he has forgotten this case.

I certainly think it a case which deservedly merits an interposition of Executive Clemency -- otherwise I should not trouble myself with it

I am Sir, Very respectfully Your obdt. Svt. J. F. Lauck Lt Col. 33d Ky. V. I.
