Lexington Ky, Aug 28 — 63
My dear Sir

This note will be handed you by James Donahoe of Lexington. He has a petition requesting the remission of a fine, inflicted in The Fayette Circuit Court, Feby 1862, Mr Donahoe is now acting as a good citizen and has abandoned the grocery business. [...] of the fine [...] was made upon the testimony of a man, whose affidavit taken after the trial disproved all he testified to before Court.

I think his a case,, which presents strong grounds for Executive clemency —

Truly Yours

Speed. S. Goodloe

To
Hon James F. Robinson
