Lewisport Ky Mar 3d 64 To the Gov of Kentucky Sir

I sent up a few days past a recommendation of Mr. Eli E. Gabbert to fill the place of Justice of the peace for this precinct which I have resigned. Since then I learn from Mr G, that he cannot accept the appointment, altho he had previously consented to do so.

I therefore beg leave to recommend Wm K. Duncan. Mr Duncan has been Justice of the peace several years ago & is fully competent to the position.
