Govr of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Dr Sir

The petition now on file at Frankfort, recommending David R. Poignard to fill a vacancy as a Justice of the peace in Justices district (No 1) was written by myself

The vacancy results from the fact that at the last August election a postmaster by the name of John C. Vandyke was elected, but being ineligible did not qualify.

My friend D. R. Poignard is well qualified to discharge the duties of the office.

Jona Davis
Presiding Judge of Spen. C. Ct
