Sir:

I would respectfully solicit the appointment of Chatham T. Ewing of this City as Commissioner of Kentucky for the State of Pennsylvania.

The oil Excitement among our people has led many of them to invest largely in your state and to facilitate exchanges and transfers of territory located there Some of us are desirous to have a Commissioner of Kentucky in our midst and I may add, that Mr Ewing, for whom we ask the appointment, is a young attorney of our bar, of irreproachable honor and well fitted for the office

Trusting that you will favor my request I remain

[Vry Rply]
D. H. Hazen
