Princeton
Gov MaGoffin.
Dear Sir
you will pardon me for praying you to extend to the old gentleman his request in behalf of his unfortunate Son T B Waddlengton
I am Sure that there was an undue and unjust influence made to bearare in the case
The facts will be presented before you
And for the Sake of the venerable old father
Combined with the amiable and devoted wife (of our mutial friend Wm H Miller) who is a Sister to the criminal. They trust in your justice and noble nature to extend that leniency which honor and duty dictates
I remain
truly your friend
Wm N Gaither
