To His Excellency Thomas. E. Bramlette Governor of Kentucky:

We the undersigned citizens of Harrison County, would most respectfully represent to his Excellency Thomas E. Bramlette Governer of Kentucky that at the November Term 1858, of the Harrison County Circuit Court. John Latart was in convicted of manslaughter, for killing William Doughan and by judgment of the court was ordered to be confined in the state penitentiary for the period of seven years. He was shorty afterward taken to the penitentiary, We feel fully assured that all the objects of the law, the reformation of the prisoner, being one of them, have been fully obtained, We would further represent that the father & mother of the prisoner are in very destitute circumstances, that they have no one else to look to for support, and this his assistance, which we feel assured he would give, is necessary to them. We think there is no one acquainted with the facts, but would willingly give his assent to ^the prisoners^ his being released. We ask your Excellency to extend to him the mercies

of law, and to release him from the remainder of his term.
