Frankfort, Feb. 2 1863. To the Governor:

I have made some inquiries into the case of Fairbanks, and I think upon the score of humanity he ought to be Pardoned upon the Condition he leaves Kentucky and never returns. I think a confinement in the Penitentiary for eleven eleven years is a sufficient Punishment for the larceny of any kind of goods.

I am very resp'y Your Obt St J. Harlan
