Govener of Kentuckey
Kind Sir
I believe it is within your power to appoint a certain number of persons in Every state to take the acknowledgments of Deeds of lands lying and being within your state
There is no such person in our city or near it that has that power and we frequently see great inconvenience arising from it
Will you be good enough to forward me a commission empowering me to take acknowledgments of Deeds in this State for the state of Kentuckey & at the same time enclose Your fee bill & I will remit the amount
Yours Very Respectfuly
