Morganfield Ky May 5th 1862 Gov. Magoffin Dr Sir

Enclosed, I call your attention to a Petition of Mr E. R. Cowgill and myself, which I think calls for the interposition of Executive Clemency. The facts are by no means colered, and you will see that all the Members of Our Bar Clerk and Sheriff have signed a Request to your Excellency to remit the fine of $300 -- which before judgment you can do.

These Gentlemen are well acquainted with all the facts in the case --

may I hope your attention will be called early to this Petition

Respectfully your old friend Sam. D. Delany
