Owingsville Ky Feby 19th 1862, James.W. Tate Esqr -- Frankfort Ky -- Dear Sir --

We have but one Notary Public in Bath, and he resides in sharpsburg. Mr Van B Young had a commission and discharged such duties as we needed done here, untill his election to the House of Rep. We occasionally require their services and I think the Govenor should appoint one.

If he will nominate me, I will be obliged to him, and will faithfully discharge the duties thereof -- I would desire the Commission for the "County of Bath" --

Your attention to this matter will oblige an old friend --

R Gudgell
