Head-Qrs. Pay Dist. of the Cumberland,
Louisville, Ky., Sept 1st 1863.
Hon. J. W. Finnell

Sir-

I have the honor to state, that my clerk David C. Porter, whom the Gov. appointed Notary Public early in 1862, has resigned his office & will leave me soon.

It is very necessary that I should have a notary public in my office & one of my own clerks. You will do me a great favor, by forwarding a commission to my brother Robert Allen — now clerk in my office, as Notary Public.

I, am. Very Respectfully
Your Obedt Servt
William Allen,
Chief Paymaster Dist. Cumb'd.
