Prompt Attention given to the Collection of Claims.

Louisville, Ky., Mar 26th 1861 Dear Governor,

There will be an application made to you to pardon Rufus Jones recently convicted by the Warren Circuit Court of Manslaughter. I know nothing of the merits of the petition further than I can gather from the papers which will be presented to you, but I have been long acquainted with the family connexion, and from their high social position and unblemished character for integrity, I feel a lively and deep sympathy for the young man, and most sincerely hope that you may find sufficient reasons to justify you in granting him a pardon_ I think under all the circumstances, you would do right to do so

Respectfully C S Morehead
