LLANO, Cal., September 4, 1915
Hon. William Spry, Governor
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Governor:
We, the undersigned residents of Llano, California,
respectfully petition your honor for a complete and absolute
pardon for Joe Hill, now awaiting execution by gun fire, in your
State.
We feel that he is wholly innocent and that other
than just reassons consigned him to such cruel punishment.
Wont you consider this petition well before allowing
further steps to be taken?
Hopefully submitted.
(SIGNED)
