Office of the New York County and Debtors Jail Aug. 31. 1865. To his Excellency Thos E. Bramelette Governor. State of Kentucky Sir.

I am a Notary and Commissioner for the state of New York and almost daily have applications to take depositions for your state. If agreeable to your rules I should be pleased to receive the appointment of Commissioner for Kentucky, and would state that there is no Commissioner resident in this immediate neighborhood, and parties (debtors) confined herein have great difficulty in procurring the services of a Commissioner, so that such an appointment would be a service as well as a saving to them of time and expense

Trusting that your Excellency will view the
