The undersigned Citizens of Louisville Respectfully ask your Excellency to Pardon Calvin Fairbanks, who was in the Spring of 1852 Convicted & Sentenced to Serve fifteen years in the Penitentiary for the Crime of aiding A Slave to escape from her owner

They State that from what they have heard of Fairbanks he was a monomaniac on the Subject of Slavery, at the time the offence was Committed,
