Dear Governor.

As I dont suppose that you will be able to decypher Uncle Davy's letter, I will say that it is a recommendation for the appointing of Joseph B Cooper a clerk at Camp Nelson Jessamine County, Notary Public. There is no Notary there and one constantly needed. I have long known Mr Cooper and heartely join in the recommendation.
