Louisville,
Sir:
The petition of the bearer I am satisfied correctly sets forth the facts upon which he hopes for your clemency and which I trust you will regard as sufficient to justify you in granting his prayer.
I am informed and believe that Mr. Kelly is a quiet, industrious, & good citizen, & it would certainly fall heavely on him to be compelled to discharge the obligation imposed on him by his bond.
I am, Sir,
Respectfully Your Obt Servt
R. McKee
W. N. Haldeman
To his Excellency
B. Magoffin
