Feby 13th 1863
To his Excellency
Gov Robinson —
Dear Sir —

Some time last Month — the Office of Justice of the peace for the 5th district in this county was vacated by the resignation of S S Sizemore — A petition was sent to your excellincy to appoint P. H. Lockett — Since then we have had no acting Justice, in this district, that is one who keeps an office for that purpose —

Our county Judge has been absent for a week & expect to be absent for two more weeks

[Page 2]

so that we are really in want of such an Officer — Subdivision 2 Setc 5 Chap 32 of statutes gives you the power to appoint if you have not already done so — Your early attention to filling said vacancy would confer a favor upon the people of this district.

Yours most truly
H. F. Turner
