And whereas, U.S. Attorney Pierrepont thinks "a pardon would be be just as it is doubtful of his real guilt is in question." Now therefore, be it known that, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States of America, in consideration of the premises, diverse other good and sufficient reasons, do hereby grant to the said Louis Lindauer a full and unconditional pardon. So testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington, This Twentieth day of June, A. D. 1870 and of the dependence of the United States the ninety fourth. By the President US. Grant, J. C. Bancroft Davie, Acting Secretary of State.
