said Ladd being a very poor man with a large family of wife and daughters, mainly dependant upon his labour for support. We prey that he may be discharged immediately so he may return to his home in time to prepare for planting his spring crop. And would further pray, that in view of his good behaviour, and faithful service since he has been in the state Prison. That and of his being a very poor man -- a long distance from his home, and amongst strangers, That your Excellency cause to be furnished to him a suit of cloths, and money to defray his travling expenses to his home.

Very Respectfully -- Geo, Poindexter Representative Christian Co. Urban E. Kennedy Representative Todd Co. Robert E. Glenn Senator from Christian & Todd
