Sir:
I have the honor to inclose copies of papers on file in this Department, in the case of Lieutenant William Buffum now in prison in Kentucky under a conviction of robbery. I am directed by the Secretary of War to invite your Excellency's particular attention to the remarks of the Judge Advocate General, which are included among these papers, and to request that you will direct the pardon and release of Mr Buffum. if upon examination of the case, you are convinced that his previous character and services entitle him to such clemency
I am, Sir, with great respect,
Your Obedient Servant
