Hon J. J. Crittenden
Sir
I enclose a letter of introduction to you from one of yourKentucky friends T. Miller also a letter asking an appointment of commissioner of Deeds, with the endorsement of Gov. Jas. W. Nye, and a note to the Secretary of State about his fees.
I take the liberty to ask your endorsement of my application, and the forwarding of same to the Governor.
The war having caused several changes in your Executive, I would ask that you fill in the name of the person who is governor, as we have not been able to settle the question who is the present governor.
I direct to Louisvillehaving seen a notice of your removal to that place
Yours respectfully
