w1EDsoR, March &c, 1877.
My Dear Friend The governor hav-
ing denied me executive clemency, there
remains no further hope of life for me in
this world. Those who have sought my
life for the gain of few paltry dollars have
accomplished their Infamous work, and
thereby assumed responsibility which l
hope Almighty God will call them to
account for In the last great day. feel
that must now die under the vile appella-
ton of a murderer, but God, tho searcher
OF all hearts, knows that it is an unjust ap-
plication and cannot extend beyond this
world where my life has been sotely tried.
/ rejoice in the hope of salvation through
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and can
see nothing to be gained by my great cal
amity, unless it be that 1t has brought me
into closer communion with the kind shop
herd Of all who knows my heart aud can

You will undoubtedly feel bad when the
news of my death reaches you, but l beg
you not to mourn me as lost, but rather re-
joice In the hope that amid all my earthly
Affections have not neglected my souls

The report that have written my auto
biography is not true. What Ihave written
10 merely a abatement Of facts which have
como under my observation during my mis- |
fortune. You will undoubtedly get copy |
