Dear Sir

At the request of Mrs. Alexander the mother of Hiram Alexander who is now serving his time in the Penitentiary of this state under a sentence for cutting with intent to Kill a German named Overhouse I write this to inform you that s^d Overhouse was well in body when I last heard of him and had started with muchproprietyIpresume towards the scene of War? as a soldier to help Abraham stop balls from Davis's battery. Mr. McSlaughlin (who writes you a letter) knows more about the merits of the case I presume than I do, as he knows him well, and arrested him, I may be permitted to hope that if Executive Clemency is exercised in behalf of Alexander he will not

Yours truly
C, H, Mooar

To
Hon. B. Magoffin
Gov, of Ky
