Dear Governor
I wish to say to you in the case of the Commonwealth against Hensly A convict for purjury I think clearly deserves your concideration specially as his time is nearly out
I happend to be present at his trial and as I understood the evidence in the case said Hensly hadand owd B. F. Guardner &63 notes one for 15$ one for 28$ & one for 35$ afterwards cald and paid him 50$ & took up two of the notes he was afterwards warrented on the other note which on trial he swore he did not own such A note but that he did owe said Guardner A note of 28$, when really
he had taken up the 15 & 28$ insted the 15 & 35$ as it is presumable he thought Leaveing the 35$ note with A credit of some few dollars on it it was also in proof that Hensly could neither reed nor rite
Yours truly
G. M. Hampton
My Recollection is substantially nearly the same as stated by Mr Hampton
