Covington
To His Excellency
Govr Bramlette
Dear Sir
Wm Spencer who was convicted of grand Larceny at the last Term of the Kenton Circuit Court, The facts developed on the trial were that he was a stranger here having boarded at the house only a few days & that he stole a pair of pants from a fellow boarder -- Spencer has friends in New York of means and respectability and I am assured by a gentleman upon whose
Statements I confidently rely that this is his first offence and from the Statement of the Rev W P Jermane he is repentant & Mr Areson his uncle assures me that he will take him to N York & put him into business & and do all in his power to reform him. Spencer is young only twenty years old; and upon all the facts of the case and Surrounding it I can earnestly ask your Excellency to pardon him
Very Sincerly
Your friend
