Dear Sir Accept my thanks for kindness to Mrs Elizabeth Stull She is a clever woman and her husband is unworthy of her — She and her children will suffer this winter if they cannot get the pay and bounty due her husband — She tells me her husband will die I do not know him never saw him but am satisfied from what she says that he ought to be pardoned for her sake if for nothing else — If you will write to Gov Bramlette and tell him the Story of this man and woman — that the jury are signing the petition for his pardon and that Genl Palmer has done so and what you and I think about it he canand he willtelegraph the President to Pardon him and the President will do it at once Say to the Governor that what I do — I do as a Union man not as a Lawyer, not for a fee that I could not be induced to take a cent of this womans money He can obtain the pardon & will

Your friend T. C. Campbell
