Lexington April 15th 1862 My Dear Sir

Mr. C. Burnham goes down this afternoon to see you in reference to a matter of my friend Arvin, which he will fully explain to you -- I should have gone with him to except that I am too unwell -- From what I have heard of the case, it presents a just subject for Executive interposition, and if after hearing Mr. Burnams account of it, you agree with me, I would take the favor done Arvin as one to myself.

Yours Truly James B Clay

His Excy Govr Magoffin
