Box 533-557.

Scope and content:

This subseries is housed in 25 boxes and is arranged by Governor. The file arrangement used by each Governor varied from reverse chronological order to alphabetical order. This subseries contains correspondence from the Office of the Governor, written by the Secretary to the Governor (Alexander Forward, W.W. Martin, V.E. McDougall and Laura H. Allen), to the Office of the Superintendent requesting prisoner records in order to evaluate clemency requests. These records only document the request for individual prisoner records; they do not include a copy of prisoner records. Researchers should consult the Office of the Governor records and the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Executive Papers for clemency files and supporting documentation.
