His Excellency Gov. Carral [sic]
Sir.
From communications made to us on which we can rely, we feel of a duty to solicit the pardon of Col. Barnes was imprisoned under the affermance [sic] of a Judg ment of the Circuit court - Col Barnes no doubt committed an error - and in strict law the correction may be Justified - But thinking as we do that the impresanment [sic] was more severe than example required under the circumstances - we ask clemen cy on his behalf - The record before us did not Justify our interferance [sic] with new trial, did not give a sufficient reason why Barnes did not have his mishaps stated in these affidavits be true - He was present at the seat to prevent and not to excite mischief -
Respectfully yours
May 1833.
