Decr 31st 1861,
Dear Nat,

I would be obliged to you if you would ask the Gov, to appoint Joseph S Burdett a cousin of mine notary Public for Garrard County. I have him in my office & it would be a source of great convenience to me. I will pay you the fees when I come down which will be ere long, please attend to this matter for me instantly, & enclose me the coms by mail.

I think we will have a lively time in the law if the Legislature does not close the Courts at its next meeting. I would like to see your & talk over old matters &c &c

Your friend &c
J Burdett

Hon Nat Gaither
