Jas W. Tate Esq
Asst Secry of State
Dr Sir.

On transacting some business for your State this day my attention was called by my clerk to the fact that a letter was received at my office last fall from you, stating — that you had never received my oath of office as Com^r for Kentky nor your fee $5⁰⁰.

On examination I find that your letter arrived during my absence from the City and through mistake was filed away without coming to my notice.

On a further examination I find that your statements therein are correct. and am much at loss to conceive how such a jumble of errors could have passed by so long since without being noticed.

I must ask to be excused for what
appears to be such gross carelessness. trusting that an occurrence of like nature will not again occur.

Enclosed you will please find the oath and your fee $5.00 the receipt of which please acknowledge.

Very Respy
Your mo Obt Servt
