Henderson Ky June 14 1862 Dr Govr

In the absence of Judge Fowler I was chosen Judge pro Tem & was so acting upon the trial of the Comth vs W. G. Yancy upon charge of Larceny without going into a full history & minutae of the case I am very decidedly of the opinion that hisit is one recomending itself strongly for executive clemency and do not hesitate to urge you to use that part of your power in behalf of one who is young, full of promise & who seems to have been led into this dificulty alone by the use of ardent spirits.

recieve assurance of my friendship from Yours respectfully JnoT.Bunch
