Austin, Lander County Nevada
Dec 2nd 1865
To His Excellency
the Governor of Kentucky
Dear Sir

The undersigned a Notary Public for Lander County State of Nevada, and commissioner for many states of the Union would respectfully solicit a commission for the state of Kentucky

The emigration to this Land of silver brings — together men from all parts of the Union, and they are at a loss to make conveyances & C. before proper officers to return to the old states

A want of the Statutes of each state in this newly settled country, renders it impossible to say who is — qualified to take acknowledgments.

I Can now only add that in seeking this appointment that in politics, I am and always have been a strict Union man

Respectfully your Obt Servant
Alfred E Shannon

I can refer you to Hon D R Ashley, Member of Congress for Nevada
