Dear Sir:
I enclose petition to the Governor on the behalf of Henry Branham for remission of fine -- signed by a number of respectable Citizens of this County -- among whom will be found R W Martinson Judge of our County Court -- The Clerks of the Circuit & County Courts -- The attornies of our bar generally and several of the Jury who tried the Case --
The testimony showed a very near approach if not a clear case of Self defence in law and if Consistent with public policy in such Cases it is hoped the petition may be granted
Very Respy.
