Dear Governor --

I enclose you a letter from Thos M Green He wishes you to pardon him for sending a challenge to Sam Major more than five years ago. He and Major Were Editors and got to sparing and a challenge passed but there was no fight. Green has since married and repented of his folly. The constitution authorizes the Governor after 5 years have elapsed to restore the parties interested in a dual or challenge.

I think both ought to be released

Very respy J. Harlan June 11/62
