Louisville, July 23 1861 Sir:

The petition of the bearer I am satisfied correctly sets forth the facts upon which he hopes for your clemency and which I trust you will regard as sufficient to justify you in granting his prayer.

I am informed and believe that Mr. Kelly is a quiet, industrious, & good citizen, & it would certainly fall heavely on him to be compelled to discharge the obligation imposed on him by his bond.

I am, Sir, Respectfully Your Obt Servt R. McKee W. N. Haldeman

To his Excellency B. Magoffin
