Hon.
Gov'r of
Dear Sir;
ies (Garis) a little more than a year ago, and your predecessor respited for a year that Garis might return and stand his trial, but he has not been heard of since. He doubtless is dead or was killed in the South somewhere, and in all probability before the forfeiture took place. Of this he can not know positively, for Henin has no means of knowing. I am informed by respectable parties that there was no merit in the cases, and that Garis would undoubtedly was innocent of the charges against him. Garis could not at any time have returned, and stood his trial. These two petitioners are poor men, and it will break them up intirely to be compelled to pay these executions.
Gen'l
was well acquainted with all the facts connected with the whole case, and says that the whole affair is without merit. Henin has paid the 30 per cent already. Dupere has two sons now in the army and has had three until recently, and is a very poor and feeble old man.
I do hope you will be able to do something for them.
Yurs Very Respy
