Carlisle, Ky, March 19, 1861 Hon L. W. Andrews, My dear Sir,

I promised to remind you of the case of John Kissick, who was convicted at the last term of the Rowan Circuit Court of shooting at Barney Hayden, and fined $21 and imprisoned six months, you heard the testimony, and know that it was a drunken spree, and accompanied with such circumstances as did not indicate malice toward Hayden, He is now in the fourth week of his imprisonment, and I think has been sufficiently punished, and it would be a mercy to relieve him from the balance of the sentence, The fine I suppose has been, or will be paid by his father,

I authorize you to file this letter with

2

the Govenor as my recomendation of Kissick to his clemency,

Your friend truly, R. H. Stanton
