To his Excellency Thos E. Bramlette Governor of Kentucky --

Your petitioners would respectfully represent to your excellency that Daniel Taylor is now confined in the Louisville Jail charged with horse stealing, is a youth about 18 years of age, and as we believe was overpersuaded by an older and more crafty man to engage in the crime of horse stealing, We have known the young man Taylor & his family and know that the young man's deportment was proper upto the time of his being enegaged in the crime for which he is now under arrest -- and we feel safe in representing to your excellency that this young man presents an instance in which executive clemency could be very properly exercised -- & to this end we pray that the said Taylor may be pardoned by your excellency -- as in duty bound &c --
