Jas W Tate Esq
Assistant Secretary of
State of Kentucky
Dear Sir:

Your notification that the term of my Office as Comr of Ky would expire 19 Oct was duly recd and same was mislaid and neglected. I now enclose to you $5 — the fee and request that you forward me a commission bearing date 19 ult. So as to fill up the interval. I do not remember having executed anything for Ky — but if I have it may be all right. I send you current funds of N.Y.

Very Respectfully

Sylvester Lay
