Louisville Feby 16. 1863 J. H. Harney Esqr. Frankfort. Sir,

I take the liberty of enclosing to you a petition to the Governor for the pardon of A. K. Johnston recently an officer in the Army Appointed by Genl Finnell. Hearing you had promised some of Johnston's friends, at the time you signed the petition to use your influence with the Govr and present the same.

Mr. C. Duvall about three years ago brought this young man from Philad. whose family reside there and are most respectable people. He remained in C. Duvall & Co. for two years and left the House without stain or blemish. May I call your attention to the fact that the prosecutor in the case I. H. Merwin has signed the petition and ten of the Jury -- one of the remaining two, I could not find -- I enclose a letter to Johnston which please read and act in the case.

C. Duvall wrote to Genl Robinson asking him to use his influence with his Father, and expected to see you in person to day, but as you did not visit the City as was expected he was prevented the pleasure.

Not having the honor of a personal acquaintance with you it is necessary for me to say I am acquainted with Genl Robinson and refer you to him for Character &c. and also that I should add, I am in no way interested in this unfortunate man Johnston, Save in the cause

of humanity, to save from further disgrace and sorrow his aged parents and sisters.

I have the honor to be Very Respectfully Your Obt, Sevt, A. A. Quarrier
