Taylorto fill the vacancy — No reply has been received & at the request of the parties interested I write to you to solicit that you reply immediately to the aforementioned petition — The Justice of the peace having resigned on account of ill health there is consequently no Justice for that district & the neighborhood is very anxious that you should appiont W. S. Taylor

Please attend to this immediately
