Versailles 5th May 1862 To his excellency B Magoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky Dear Sir

Sometime last year Hiram Arnett and Robert H Holloway were fined by a Jury before Twenty dollars each by a Jury for a breach of the peace From circumstances that has come to my knowledge I am satisfied that Mr Anett should not be compelled to pay his fine The fine and costs were replevied Holloway has paid his fine

I am clear in the belief that Arnett is a proper oubject for executive clemency

Yours respectfully T W Sellers
