Pittsburgh Jan'y 29th 1862
To His Excellency
Governor of the State of Kentucky
Dear Sir

Our Citizens are put to some inconvenience from the want of a Commissioner to take acknowledgments for your State

I have heretofore held a Commission but upon its expiration at the request of another Commissioner (there being but little business for one) did not have it renewed He has gone to the war & there is no Commissioner now acting in this City

I would be pleased to receive a Commission and will readily comply with the law in that regard should my application be favorably considered

I am with Respect
Yours Truly
Robt. Arthurs
