Hospital of the Ky Penitentiary, April 4th 1861 -- Col. J W South Keeper Dear Sir

There is confined in this hospital a prisoner named Shelton Wright sent from the county of Simpson under the charge of felony for one year from Sept 1860. who has chronic disease of the bowels and lungs from which he will probably never recover His further confinement in the prison will greatly lessen his prospects for recovery and we therefore recommend him as a fit subject for Executive Clemency

Respectfully, Sneed & Rodman Physicians

I concur in this statement, J, W, South
