To His Excellency Thomas E Bramlett Governor of Kentucky.

Your petitioners citizens Hardin County would respectfully represent that their sons John Myers and James Myers & Charles Oliver are under indictment in the Hardin Circuit Court charged with house breaking in the night time, & with the appropriation of goods taken from it

These boys are aged, John Myers was when the offense is charged to have been committed, less than 18 years of age, James was less than 13 & Charles Oliver was only 14 years old. They had up to that time borne good characters for honesty & never were charged with any violation of law before or since,

We humbly petition your Excellency in view of their extreme youth & former good character to grant them a pardon.

A. R Oliver Jacule miers
