Baltimore 19th April 1864.
The Hon.ble
The Secretary of State &c.

Very illustrious Sir, Having been appointed by His Excellency the Governor of Kentucky by commission bearing date 20th Septr. 1859, a Commissioner of Deeds for that State in this city; which expired in the month of Septr 1863; I am desirous, if possible, to be reappointed, as I have been Commissioner for other States and Territories several years; my application would have been made earlier, but I had to travel the continent ^of Europe^ for restoration of my health. —

I will therefore, consider it a high personal favor, if you will have the goodness to lay my application before His Excellency the Governor of Kentucky; and when you write, should a Commission be granted, be pleased to state, what the fees are and I will remit them with great pleasure. —

Trusting you will excuse the very great liberty I have taken, as well as for the trouble imposed. —

I have the high honor to remain
Very illustrious Sir,
With distinguished consideration & respect
Your most obedient
humble Servant.
Henry Howard Burgess
