Williamstown Oct 6th 1865 Tho E Bramlette Gov of Ky

Dear Sir I Send you herewith a petition asking you to pardon McClure and relieve him from pending prosecution the petition shows for itself,

We greatly desire you to relieve him, there is not so far as We have canvassed the matter found one single person who objects to it, and if it were thought necessary We could get every man and woman in the county to Sign the petition, but believing the prayer of the petition so reasonable We thought it unnecessary to consume ^time^ in obtaining a very great number of names to the petition I am very Respectfully yours &c

E H Smith
