Troy Pike County Ala, Oct 8th/66

Maj Gen Wager Swayne
Sir
A petition has been forward to his Excelly the Gov, for the pardon of Bill Mullins a freedman sent from this County at the last spring term of the Circuit Court for Larceny from a Smoke House.

Will you be kind enough to "jog" His Excelly mind as to the petition & should he determine to pardon him (Bill) will you be good enough to forward the pardon to him & inform him of the fact that the petition was gotten up at the instance of his mother who is very anxious to have him return home to her at this place.
Your attention to this matter will confer an additional favor on.
   
Your Obdt Servt
