To his Excellency Thomas E. Bramlette
Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky-

Sir I hereby tender to you this my resignation of the Office of Justice of the peace for Hopkins County Kentucky in District No 2 and request you to accept the Same —

I would suggest the name of John N. Taliaferro, of said District as a suitable one for successor for several reasons- he lives at the seat of Justice for said County & there is no other Justice within easy reach of it — which is a cause of serious delay & inconvenience frequently- Given under my hand at Madisonville Ky this 31st day of March 1865

C A. Smith J. P.

witness
Dick Littlepage

I Concur in the above recommendation

Dick Littlepage Deputy Clerk Hopkins County Court
