To the Governor of Utah,

Hon. Sir,

We are lovers of justice and we are writing to demand a new trial and a fair hearing for Joe Hill (Joseph Hillstrom). With the great power that your office as Governor of Utah gives you, you can prevent the death of an innocent man.

Again we ask you to use your power as your ought.

In great haste and trust in you, very Respectfully
