"Beechland"
Near Springport. Henry Co: Ken:
According to the request of my father (who is still a citizen of the United States) I address this letter to you.
He has taken the Amnesty oath and has made application for "pardon" which he desires should be strengthined by a petititon from his friends which he wants you to influence Gov: Bramblette to endorse and forward to the President for his
special grace.
He bade us say to you that he had faith in your past friendship for him for judging your heart by his own — it was unalterable
Any communication addressed to him will reach him if sent here to us.
Desiring to be remembered to your wife and children whom we unchangingly love and in whom we shall ever take an interest I am without doubt
Very truly and politely
Nelly Marshall
To J. Q. Webb Esq:
