Buffalo N.Y. May 27, 1865, Secretary of State, Frankfort, Ky. Dear Sir,

Some years ago I was appointed Commissioner of Deeds for Kentucky; there being little to do in that office. I did not apply for a renewal of appointment at the end of the term; recently I have been applied to, frequently, to take acknowledgements for your state, and the relations of business between this State and Kentucky seem to promise much for the future; I would be glad to receive the appointment again from your Governor.

Enclosed I send $5, the fee I was changed under my former appointment. and if agreeable please send me a new appointment

I am Truly &c, James S. Gibbs.
