Dear sir, I inclose you herewith my resignation as Notary Public for Fayette County. I am very much obliged to you for having obtained it for me, but I have concluded that I cannot attend to its duties and I therefore resign it; and hereby recommend M. B. Johnson Esq of this city as a gentleman in every way suited to fill the place. Mr. Johnson is a Justice of the Peace, and has an office in this city. I hope that he will receive the appointment. Yours truly

G. L. Postlethwaite
