West Point Ky Mar 1 1863 Dr H Rodman Frankfort Ky Dear Sir

Your favour of the 26th inst is received and in reply would say that the crime for which Moody was convicted was forgeing the name of a party to a letter to me directing me to pay him some money ($25000/00) which I done. When he was arrested he acknowledged the whole matter and when tried plead guilty. I feel a great sympathy for him and from all I can learn he is truly penitent, and I feel satisfied if pardoned he will be an honorable Man, his family are very respectable. I have a letters from his father and Mother living in Michigan written previous to his conviction. I hope the Gov will find his case one demanding his Executive Clemency and that Moody may yet become an honorable citizen

Your Friend Truly Vene P Armstrong
