The Governor of the Comw'th of Ky

Your petitioners would most respectfully represent that they are acquainted with H Myers and B Rosenstein composing the firm of Myers & Rosenstein residents of Calloway County Kentucky personally and from character together being the same parties against whom the indictments are pending copies of which are attached hereto, that Said Rosenstein is a German and Myers German-French both of foreign birth and as they believe have not been long in this Country, that from their Said Knowledge of said parties they believe them to be Gentlemen and merchants in good faith and that they are law-abiding men and in our opinion if they have violated the law as charged in Said Indictments it has been wholly through ignorance and without intention.

And supposing that their said

ignorance may not be an available place in law we think it necessary to the purposes of Justice that the Executive should in this case exercise his clemency before cost accumulates by further proceedings in said prosecutions all of which is most respectfully asked
