To the Govr
Dr Sir
I send you an affadavit of one of our best citizens who was robbed of a horse by a noted thief — the Thief is now confied in Jail at Rockport Ind on a charge for stabing & it is questionable whether they will be able to convict him & the citizens of Ind are very solicitous that he shall not escape & the object is to get you to demand him from the Govr of Ind & get him the authority to take him in the event he is not convicted on his trial at Rockport — the Court there commences some time in August —
I would suggest that you appoint Mr Rowe the approved to as agent to bring him to Ky —
Yours truly
Henry D McHenry
