Commonwealth of Kentucky,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Frankfort, 78th, 1865
Dear Governor,
Enclosed please find papers in regard to Lt. Col. Patton of the late Confederate service. I fell in with his mother & Sisters when I was on my forced exile. It is on their account I appeal to you for his pardon. I am certain from the papers enclosed that he was a regular Confederate Officer and therefore believed that he was pressing and not stealing horses. If You can, I will consider it a great favor if you will pardon him
Yours truly
Richard T. Jacob
