Governor Spry Salt Lake City Utah
Dear Sir It seems the state of Utah has condemned to death one Joseph Hillstrom. the State failed to establish a clear case of his guilt as I am informed therefore as a citizen of the United States and of the state of Nebraska. I ask of you to grant that man a new trial. Human life is too precious to be wasted with out guilt being absolutely established.
Respectfully Alfred Johnson
