NEVADO

[Done?], Via Austin, Nevada
Sept. 18 1915

To the Honorable Governor Spry,
Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dear Governor:-

If it is within your power to
save the life of Joseph Hillstrom, do so.

I do not believe that he is guilty of the crime
for which he has been convicted.

By staying the execution of Joseph Hillstrom
you will act as Christ would.

Yours for mercy
A. L. Nelson
