Hawesville Ky
Gov. J. F. Robinson
Sir=Some time since several of my friends petitioned to your Excellency to appoint me to the office of Justice of the Peace in this the Hawesville District which office has become vacant vacant — theformer Justice having been elected County Judge — and not having heard from you I have concluded that the Petition has become mislaid I have determined to write you and ask your consideration as to myself in regard to the aforesaid office — I will merely say that I am and have been all the time a warm lover and advocate of the Union Cause and think I can claim with without impunity to be an honest man and if I receive the office solicited to I will endeavor to discharge the duties imposed upon me with impartiality between man and man — Your early attention to this is requested as we are in need of a Justice as we have none in town
Yours respectfully
J. M. Wilson
