Enclosed is a petition for the remission of the fine and imprisonment of Monroe Lane who was a soldier in the Mexican War & whose father was in the War of 1812 You will that Judge Muir who witnessed the trial at Bardstown has signed the petition. Apart from the Merit of the petition the Mother of the Young man is about Seventy two years of age, in feeble health and dependant upon him and if She should learn of his imprisonment would probably not survive it. A case more proper for Executive clemency could not be presented and your benevolent and official interposition is solicited.
