To His Excellency B Magoffin

At the Decr Term 1861 of the Bath County court Wm B Bailey a Justice of the peace for Bath County came into Court and resigned his office, which was accepted by the Court, It was suggested by the retiring Justice, that S. L. Atchison would be a suitable person to succeed him, I concur with him in that opinion, Atchison has been elected Justice of the peace Several times & I think will make a very good one

R. H. Conner Ck. B. C. C.

I concur in the selection of Mr S L Atchison,

Jno D Young
