Hon B MaGoffin
Dear Sir
Enclosed I send you the petitions of Nimrod Harris & others signed by several Citizens of our town desiring an interposition of your Executive clemency in their behalf- Should you in your wisdom see fit to grant the prayer of the same you will confer upon the petitioners a favor that will be greatfully remembered — by them.
Yours Truly
E. J. Polk
