Hon Beriah Magoffin
Frankfort Ky
Accept, My Dear, Governor, my thanks for the prompt appointment of me, a notory as requested. The documents are safe to hand and in the right time for some work I had to do under the Commision.
One more faver My Dear Governor, I have to ask of you, It is that you may find it consistent with your feelings to speedily give a parden to Hauserman, He is an old man and is not guilty of larceny, though convicted for it, All the
Jury who convicted him have applied to you for his pardon, and that My Dear Governor is basis enough for you to send a parden upon even is I nor any one else made any appeal in his behalf. Hoping that the old man may come down on an early train from Frankfor I am
yours truly
R. T Durrett
