Joe Hill. As an American citizen,
and desiring justice. And believing
from all the evidence in the case, that
Joe Hill is innocent. I humbly [?]
& earnestly request, that you
grant him full freedom. And
restore him full citenship & freedom
as an innocent American citizen
should enjoy.

Respectfully and hopefully,
Yours truly
