Dear Lovell,

This will be handed to you by Sally White a Sister of Nez Alexander a free boy who was convicted at the Nov. term of the Meade Circuit Court, on an indictment for Burglery. She desires his pardon

Certainly the evidence in the Case (of which She has a transcript) does not show he was guilty in fact but only in intention. The family have a good Character here, and Perhaps Clemency would be beneficial in this case.

Sally wishes your kind Offices with the Governor, and I hope you will devote a few minutes to her interests.

Things rather dull here but I am kept busy.

All well here, Yours as ever. R. N. R Feb. 5th 1861.
