Cincinnati Ohio
Feby. 11th. 1865
Hon Thos E. Bramlette —
Dear Sir:

Howard Douglass of this city desires the appointment of Commissioner of Deeds for Ohio in Kentucky. He is the son of John G. Douglass Esq, a lawyer of this city, and is a young gentleman of good habits attentive to business, and would make a good commissioner. I deem it proper to state that he is about nineteen years of age; but I suppose the statute does not fix the age at which a person is competent.

I am satisfied that Mr Douglass would make a capabale commissioner, and would be gratified at his appointment.

Yours truly
J. P. Metcalfe

Gov. Bramlette

Frankfort
Kentucky
