John B. Dixon F..M. Wright

To his Excellency Gov B. Magoffin

The undersigned citizens of Fulton and Hickman counties -- would respectfully represent that about Seven years ag -- George Morrow was convicted in the Fulton circuit court -- of Manslaughter (he having Killed his own son) Morrow had been drunk -- for many years and we have no doubt -- but he was at the time deranged from the effects of whiskey, he has now been in the state prison for about seven years -- we thing sufficiently long to work a reformation in him if possible to be done -- he is now about 65 years old_ and we believe and hope never will indulge in the use of whiskey again. We therefore respectfully pray your Excellency to grant him a pardon for the remainder of his time and restore him to a large & helpless family --
