Maysville, Ky, April 16, 1861, My dear Govener,

Geo W. Wilkerson, whose petition to be released from the penalty of imprisonment, will accompany this note, had already been in jail three or four months before his conviction, and I understand the confinement is seriously injuring his health, I, therefore, concur in the recommendation that the penalty of imprisonment be remitted,

Very respectfully R H Stanton

Hon B Magoffin

I concur in the above recommendation

Thos J. Throop
