Frankfort June 14 1861 His Excellency B MaGoffin Dear Sir

At the request of Mr A Brawner I state that I have know for several years Wash Eblin who is now & has been in confinement in the Penitentiary for some time for the crime of murder Previous to his Committing the act for which he is now undergoing confinement he was very dissipated and in a measure worthless though regarded by all who knew him as harmless and unoffending when not disturbed or excited Since his confinement he has conducted himself well has now better health than usual and I think sufficiently restored in body and mind to make a good living if liberated

It will afford me pleasure to see him pardoned

Your obt servt W C Sneed
