Dear Govenor
Let Henry Metcalf off— It is right He is a clever man & has a large family to support— He has paid the fees & costs & this was hard on him — He deserves clemency & will sin no more if sin he did— This I mention is the sentiment of a large body of our people — I earnestly recommend his pardon—
yours &c
