J. B. CONKLIN. ATTORNEY AT LAW. LIEUT. A. H. NASMYTH, Late of 47th O. V. I., Chief Clerk.

U. S. Authorized Claim Agency, No. 4 West Third Street.

Cincinnati, Nov 22 1865 MHon Gov Bramllett Sir,

I have been solicited by numerous pensioners in My county Kenton Co. Ky to get appointed a Notary Public = as it is very inconvenient for pensions to go to a justice of the Pleace & then to Independence to get the seal of the clerk of the court & as a Notary is recognized with only his seal of office it would accomodate many persons

If you have no objection & will Send me the form of bond &c I will make the application=

I remain very respectfully Your obt sert John. W. Oneal Address morning view Kenton County -- Ky=

We have Known Mr Jno W. Oneal for about three years & find him honest & trustworthy & we think competent for any business which would come in his way of the kind more so than a majority of Justices of the Peace who sometimes mangle things up terribly = We have been solicited by several to have him appointed & he is himself very indifferent about it = Says it will be no profit to him but if he is appointed will do the best he can to assist such persons=

Hoping to hear a favorable answer from you, we remain very Respectfully Your obt sert Conklin Bros & Co
