Hodgenville Ky Sept 9 1864 J. R. Page Esqr. D Sir

Your note of the 7th Inst came duly to hand asking me to recommend some suitable person to fill the office of Justice of the peace for District No 2. in place of H M Crow. I cannot recommend B. A. Golleher on account of qualification and locality. He has been a constable for several years (one Term) and done badly. He is loyal, but not qualified -- besides he lives very near Tho Price the remaining Justice of the District who lives on Mouldrow hill -- The people of the District who live under the hill on the River suffer incovenience to have to go on the hill to do their business. all in the same place. I would suggest the name of Franklin Johnson who lives on the river in the bottom, who was for many years and acting Member of Our County Court, Who is loyal and well qualified -- and whose locality will suit the people conveniently for the prosecution of their business -- If you commission Mr Johnson send his commission to New Haven as he lives in 1/2 mile of that office.

Mr Johnson is no way related to Me and in suggesting him, I am influenced only by a proper motive for the interest of my people

Yrs very respectfully H. S. Johnson County Judge Larue Co
