We the undersigned petitioners humbly sheweth unto your Excellency that John Leish late of the County of Warren and State of Tennessee is now under sentence of the Law on a charge of having committed a Rape, and in as much as the sentence will be executed without Executive interference: We beg leave further to suggest to your excellency that the said John Leish has some respectable connections in the County of Warren, and further that he is a very young & inexperienced man, and that no serious charges has hitherto been brought against him, we therefore conceived him to be a fit object of your Mercy: By granting him your gracious pardon you will have the pleasing consolation of having restored a young man to the Arms of his disconsolate parents, and of initiating [?] your heavenly, father Who showeth Mercy to the penetent." You Sir know how to apreciate the feelings of a parent. We therefore humbly hope that you will take his case into your wise consideration, and in your wisdom & clemency grant him your most gracious pardon and we your petitioners as in duty bound will see.
