Carrollton Nov 30, 1864
E. L. Vanwinkle Esqr Secty

Dear Sir I received sometime since a letter requesting me to recommend some good loyall man to act as justice of the Peace for District No 1 in the place of T. Fisher resigned I have delayed answering in order to comply but have not been abble to find the right sort of man who would accept the appointment

I hoever respectfully request that Samuel Carlisle may be commissioned as Justice of the Peace for Carrollton District No 2 in the room of B. B. Elston resgined, his loyalty and fitness are unquestioned & undoubted. I would like very much for him to have his Commission in time for our Court of claims (which by Special Statue) meets next Monday the 5th of Decr as we have only two Justices in Commission in this (Carroll) County

Respectfully
R. W. Masterson
