To His Excellency
Governor of the State of Tennessee
The Enclosed documents were confided
to me by Mr. William Beard of this
County, at whose request the same
are forwarded to you urging the necessity
from the nature of the case a speedy action
thereon, And that the necessary process
from you on the Executive of Tennessee
Will be without delay fowarded
to him at Jonesborough Tennessee
Where Mr. Beard will be and
expects to find the person accused
of the felony - And will be there
only waiting for the power from you
to bring them to justice in Kentucky -
And he hopes the subject will meet
with your prompt attention, -
Yours &c
Hiram S. Emerson
