Dear Governor,

In the case
of Joe Hill, who is to be
shot to death in the State
of Utah on Oct 1st 1915, I
wish to register my
protest. Can you not see
your way clear to avert
this wrong-- If all men
are shot to death who
call for justice, then pray
who will fight the
fight for right?
Yours for Freedom of the
Press -- the speaker & all people
May heaven bless you in all
goods deeds.

Yours truly

J. H. Banding
