Dear Gov'r

Mr Jos Deitz will hand you this -- You have a petition before you stating the facts, and besides you will recolect that I have talked to you personally about the matter, I think Deitz ought to be releived -- if you can do any thing for him, please let his sons know at once, they are quite poor, with a large family; I am too unwell to come round in propria persona if you require all the names of the jurors who tried him tell the boy so plainly for he is rather dull of comprehension Respty Your friend P. U. Major
