Richmond Ky
18th April 1862
Hon. James Harlan
Dr Sir —

I send you enclosed two copies of orders certifying the removal of Irvine A. Hunter & Cyrus B. Cook, late Magistrates, from their Districts. I send you also Petitions to the Governor asking the appointment of G. W. Ballew & S. D. Walker to supply the vacancy until the August Election.

I send the Papers to you as I know the matter will be attended to immediately, as the people wish to have the vacancies supplied, & our court of claims meets the first of next month & we wish the gentlemen suggested as members of the court — They are among the very best men of our County.

Will you please see the Governor & ask him to commission the gentlemen named in the Petition —

Very truly
Yr. Friend
James H. Embry
