Hon. Thos E Bramlette;
Gov'r of Ky.
Dear Gov'r:
An old friend, J. W. Watcott, Esq. of Memphis Tenn, formerly of Cinti, desires me to recommend his name to you, as one in every way qualified to hold and exercise the duties of "Commissioner of Deeds for Ky;" and if you could upon my solicitation procure him the appointment I can say that you will find no worthier Gentleman, and no one who would make a better officer. I am in hope you will find it not disagreeable to appoint him.
Your Very Respy.
Jeff. Brown.
