Hon. B Magoffin Dear Sir:

I am prevented delivering this in person -- but send it, with the hope that it may assist in procurring a pardon for Joseph Blackwell.

I have sent the Petition of all his neighbors and of estimable gentlemen in this city -- and would have sent other papers if I could learn that those are not sufficient.

Proceeding as I am in the utmost good faith, I hope you will pardon my persistence.

Very Truly Yours John. P. Harrison
