Governor Bramlette

Accompanying this note you will be handed a petition for the pardon of W, J, Hull. I have just now been informed that the young man has been in confinement near four years. I am well acquainted with the family of the young man, I mean his relatives. They are very worthy people -- honest, industrious and economical. In behalf of his widowed Mother, and with a good conscience I respectfully ask your Excellency for his enlargement.

very respectfully Jany 27. 1865 Jno. C. Monfort
