His Excellency
Gov. [[Moore, Andrew B. (Andrew Barry), 1807-1873|A.B. Moore]].

Dear Sir

At the Spring Term of 1858 of the [[Circuit courts|Circuit Court]] of [[County of Barbour (Ala.) Barbour County]], [[Parmer, Jacob|Jacob Parmer]], was [[conviction|convicted]] of grand [[larcener|larceny]], from a man by the name of McLair. He has been in the Penitentiary now for about twelve months. I have concluded to join in an application to you for his freedom. I know of no particular reason that I can [?] for this except that I do not think that the public good requires that he should any longer be imprisoned in the Pen-itentiary.

Your obt. Svt.
[[Baldwin, M.A.|M A Baldwin]]
