His Excellency Thos E. Bramlett Governor of Kentucky.

Your petitioners, citizens of Henderson County, would respectfully represent to Your Excellency, that in the year 18623, William L Whiting and James Cox were indicted in the Henderson Circuit Court for larceny. Charged with having taken two beef hides the property of Rev. Joel Lambert. Mess Withing and Cox were at the time engaged in the grocery business -- And also buying and selling hides, produce &c They were young men of good character and standing in Community. They represent it to be true, and we Your petitioners believe them, that they purchased the Stolen property of a negro man who brought them to their place of business for sale. That no one was present when the purchase was made, and the Stolen property being found in their possession. And both of them indicted, they are left without means of vindicating themselves against the charge. We therefore respectfully but earnestly petition Your Excellency to Exercise Executive clemency
