Dr Sir
At the Circuit Court for Sullivan County a man by the name of Lowe or Low was convicted of Petty Larceny for Stealing [6 1/2 lb?] of home made Sugar [1/2 lb] loaf Sugar 1 Shawl & 1[?] of Coffee, he was found guilty on full and satisfactory Proof and I sentenced him to Receive twenty Lashes, ^the execution of which Sentence was postponed until the will of the Executive cou'd be known -
It appeared that the Defendant Lowe was an Industrious man and it did not appear that any outrage had before that time been committed by him, his connextions [sic] are respectable as represented to me by Gentlemen in whom full confidence ought to be placed in particular he has an amiable woman for his wife and his father in law has always been deemed one of the most upright men in that part of the Country
Yor excellency will no doubt observe that this unfortunate man will have to undergo an imprisonment for more than three weeks, before he can get your answer; a circumstance which w.d not have taken place had the sentence been put into immediate
