Lockart Station Miss
Sept 5^th^" 1864

Gov

We the undersigned Ladies in and around Lockart do hereby petition you to release Burwell Jones who is in prison at Macon. Miss

The majority of us has been intimately requainted with Mr Jones for a number of years and can safely say we have never know any thing of him but as true upright honorable man We beleive that he was indicted through a malicious design. Mr Jones was acting as Station Agent at this place. (and done us many favors in the way of transacting business) in—consequence of there being no one to fill the vacancy the Station cannot be attended to He was an advantage to the community in various ^ways^ ever ready to help the destitute families whose only dependence for support are now on the Sented feild struggling for Southern Independence. Mr Jon is a worthy and in every way a reliable man, a good a citizen and has many friends that are anxiously awaiting his return to his destitute family—Knowing you Gove to be ever desirous to promote the happiness of our Country we trust you will comply with this our humble request

Respectfully
