DeaSir

Allow me to call your attention to the accompaning letter addressed to me by Mrs Mary S Robertson a most estimable and highly reputable lady. indeed I know now more so as requested by her I called to see the girle Bridget McMahan. and found She had been Sentenced to one year had been in one year. I am Satisfied from all I can leave that no public or private fault can be promoted by continuing her longer in confinement I thefore Unite with Mrs Robertson in soliciting her Pardon. to take effet as an early a day as maybe.
