Stanford Ky 28th June '64. Govenor!

Enclosed is a letter from Judge Murphy, which will explain to you the matter with which I now trouble you. I acted in this matter at the urgent request of our citizens, who had compassion on two girls unfortunately situated. My motive was to save expense to the State, and perform an act of charity, without reward. Actuated by these motives, and with no desire to let any one evade the Just punishment of the law for crimes committed, I entered as Bail for their appearance at our last Sept term the Bond was forfeited -- Will you not, Govenor, extend to myself and Mr White, my co-surety, Your excellency's most gracious favor?

Yours truly -- Henry T. Harris,
