Head-Qrs. Pay Dist. of the Cumberland, Louisville, Ky., Sept 1st 1863. Hon. J. W. Finnell Adjt Genl Ky. Frankfort, Ky. Sir-

I have the honor to state, that my clerk David C. Porter, whom the Gov. appointed Notary Public early in 1862, has resigned his office & will leave me soon.

It is very necessary that I should have a notary public in my office & one of my own clerks. You will do me a great favor, by forwarding a commission to my brother Robert Allen -- now clerk in my office, as Notary Public.

I, am. Very Respectfully Your Obedt Servt William Allen, Chief Paymaster Dist. Cumb'd.
