To the Governor of Utah
Salt Lake City
Dear Sir:-
I write the few lines to
you to protest against the
legal murder of Joseph
Hillstrom which is [?]
as I understand for oct first
I am not an I.W.W. and
do not agree with thier
tactics but I cannot sit
by will, no workd of protest
and see as I believe an
innocent mans life taken
and a blot put upon one
of our fair states record
that all eterinity will not
be able to grace and poslerity
