Covington
To His Excellency
B Magoffin Governor of Ky.
Dear Sir
As to young Timberlake, Sentenced to the Ky. Penitentiary at the present term of the Kenton Circuit Court. in Covington I will say he is quite young, and the offence in falt consisted in taking a check handed him by one Van Grundy to Bank, drew the money on it and walked to the Ferry and crossed to cinti. He spent about $1200 of the money $1000 of it for a ^R. R.^ ticket and $200 for other purposes
The money was all recovered except the $200 he having voluntarily surrendered the money and ticket. I hope the lesson has been already sufficiently salutory and believe Executive Clemency would not be misapplied in his favor
Respectfully C. H. Mooar
