Petition on behalf of Esq Barton of Missouri
Saint Louis Dec. 9 /62
Major Gen Merrill

Dear sir

I called on Col Dick Provost Marshall general in regard to the care of Squire Barton of Monroe County and was by him refered to you; as you are aware he was sent to this city from Hudson on the charge of Harboring Bushwhackers – without saying a word in extennation from me you will admit that the old man has already been punished quite considerable; and if I thought there was the remotest propibility if liberated of a repletion I should be the last man to seek his liberation – but I know the Mr. Barton well and I am confident you may return him to his aged Partner without his ever giving you or the union friends any trouble.

But to make matters doubly sure I only ask that he may be released on his Parole and Bond. It will not have escaped your observation that in Tennessee, Virginia and even in this state men are released simply on their Parole who have been engaged in active hostilities; men like the son of Gen Price can return to their families by taking the oath and giving their Parole – I am sure that your assent will be given to the favor I ask and that you will return this infirm old man to his aged partner who is more afflicted by this event that has overtaken Mr Barton

Respectfully

Wm A Lockwood

That you may know I do not belong to any kind limb(?) of ??? I inclose one or two endorsements which you will please return as I shall have occasion to see Co. Dick after I hear from you

Please direct to 180 North 6th street
