Mayfield March 29. 1861 —
Gov. MaGoffin —

It is supposed here that Judge Williamswill resign the office of Circuit Judge for the district in a short time if such is the case the vacancy will have to be filled by appointment from you. my friend Judge A R Boon desires the position he is in every respect fully qualified for the position and his appointment would give entire satisfaction to the people and Bar of the district that he is the choice of both I have no doubt — our mutual friend Ed Crossland will no doubt do all he can for Boon as he told him when he passed through here on his way toFrankfort

that he would do so

Respectfully Yours

Lucien Anderson
