Dear Robert,
Enclosed find Petition of J W S Donnell of Limestone county well known to you, asking that the record of his property on the Books of the B R F & A Lands as abandoned may be cancelled & the same restored to him. 
He has long since obtained his pardon a copy of which is enclosed & has been in the possession of his property as you well see by the papers which give all the desired information
He left them with me to be handed Gen Swayne & yourself who were looked for here. Only hearing that you were here last night I expected to deliver them to you this morning, had you not set out on the morning train for Washington city
