To his Excellency Govr Bramlette

The undersigned beg leave to state to your Excellency that some two weeks ^since^ a poor boy ^nearly^ 168 years of age by the name of Crittenden King, was arrested under charge of Horse stealing in Clark County Ky, and by the Examining Court sent on for further trial, and was admitted to Bail in the sum of $20000 to appear in the Circuit Court to answer said charge, whereupon his Grand Father David M. Gordon bailed him out of Jail of Clark County, and since then said Crittenden King has volunteered in the Army of the United States and is now a private in Company (C) 6th Ky Cavalry, We under the circumstances ask you

2

to grant the said Crittenden King a reprieve, He is a weak boy, -- without means and in a measure without friends & the son of a clever poor woman & the bail his Grand father David M. Gordon ^a poor man^ is & has been all the time a true Union man, The pardon we ask for him will be acceptable to the Union people of Clark County, The party from whom the Horse was taken, immediately got the mare that was taken & recovered said mare without loss.
