Dear Govenor

Major A. J. Konkle has been indicted & fined for dealing faro at the present ^Feby — ^ term of the Fayette Circuit Court. Col Konkle is a soldier & served his country faithfully as commandant of the 1st Ohio Light artillerey. He served over three years with distinction as an artillerey officer & was promoted for his gallantry — He is poor & his health entirely broken down. I know what I say. He has a comly wife & from what I [learn] in company & from social indulgence is techinacaly guilty but not realy so — He asks for executive clemency & I cordialy endorse his application.

Yours &C
Jno. B. Huston
Thos H Moore

I unite in this request.
