The undersigned, Citizens of this County, would respectfully represent to your Excellency, That J. C. Wilkinson was arrested, & tried before the County Court Judge of this County charged with unlawful Pedling, by Sample & was fined one hundred Dollars --

Mr Wilkinson had Just arrived at our Town, & was Ignorant of our State laws, and we believe that Mr Wilkinson would have been the last man to violate our laws deliberately & with a view to cheat the Commonwealth out of the license Tax imposed by law -- He only sold one Small lot of Cutlery We hope in view of all the facts, that your Excellency will remit the fine -- as we think his case is one that properly recommends itself to Executive Clemency --

Very Respectfully John.N. Crow P. M. S. R. Hope J P Wm H Bush Co atty -- Wm Kidd County Court Judge G. W. Dalton Sheriff Geo H Millikin Clk W. J. Wright J. P. S C Chas F. Potter S. Sympson U. S.
