Lewisport, Ky Feb 28 64 To his excellency the Gov of Kentucky Sir

About a week past I sent in to the County Judge of this (Hancock) County, my resignation of Justice of the peace for this precinct. I was under an impression then that an Election would be held immediately to supply my place.

Since then I percieve that a temporary appointment untill May is your duty I beg leave therefore if an appointment has not yet been made, to recommend Mr. Eli ^E^ Gabbert as person for the position. He is a man of unimpeachable loyalty & fully competent.

Reply Jas Prentis

I fully concur in the above recommendation.

Thos. R. Taylor Representative
