Frankfort,
To the Governor:
I have made some inquiries into the case of Fairbanks, and I think upon the score of humanity he ought to be Pardoned upon the Condition he leaves Kentucky and never returns. I think a confinement in the Penitentiary for eleven eleven years is a sufficient Punishment for the larceny of any kind of goods.
I am very resp'y
Your Obt St
J. Harlan
Pettn for pardon of Fairbans
For consideration
No good grounds shown
