Commonwealth of Kentucky,
OFFICE SECRETARY OF STATE,
Frankfort,
Dear Sir Governor
I know all about this case and think it presents strong claims for Executive Clemency Mr Hart is quite a poor young man, tho' as clever as any can be and of as good family as there is in the state beinga relation of Mrs Magoffin Blacks brother married Harts sister & it was in that way he was induced to go security — Blacks offences being only misdemeanors, & punishable by fines — being for selling whisky to slaves — He has left the state for the States good, & if he should return he can be taken up & tried, the judgments indictments standing against him still — No good can be done by making Mr Hart pay the fine, & hope you will release him of as much of the fine as you
Truly Your friend
Grant Green
