Hon Beriah Magoffin
Dear Sir
Messrs Win Simpson & Co Bankers of this Town request me to say to you — that there is a vacancy in the Office of Notery Public in this place occasioned by the resignation of A. F. Bowen, who was appointed some time since- He received his commission and immediately after resigned — probably you will recollect Bowen's letter to this effect to you- it being a rather remarkable production=it would be gratefying to these gentlemen- if you would appoint Robert N. Winn — of their Firm — Notary in place-of Bowen resigned — They wish it mainly for the Sake of convenience in their business=I congratulate you upon your able, & conservative letter — touching present political troubles — it receives the approbation of all parties &C.
Yours sincerely
C. S. French
