Dear Governor
James Graves was fined in the Franklin Circuit Court the sum of Two Hundred Dollars for an assault committed some two years or more ago. He soon after left his wife and two small children in very destitute circumstances and has not since returned to support them. His wife has appealed to me to forgive her husband so far as in my power, so that he might return home. Under all the circumstance I believe the case presents facts calling for the exercise of Executive clemency, and therefore I recommend that the fine be remitted
Very Respectfully
