THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Richmond, June 22 1868.

Gen. O Brown.
Asst Comr. &c.
Richmond Va.

General

I have examined the papers in the case of Robt. Sampson: they fail to afford any reasons for the exercise of Executive clemency at this time.
It will be a proper case for its exercise at a later period.

I am, General
Very respectfully &c
H. H. Wells.
Governor of Va.
