Independence Kenton Co Ky. Hon Beriah Magoffin. Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

The recent death of H. Wayman Esq; has caused a vacancy. in the 2nd Magistrate District in Kenton County Ky. and by a special act of the Legislature, this district is always open for business, by giving five days previous notice to the defendant; and as sometime three months will elapse before the next Election, we would suggest the appointment of a magistrate in the place of H Wayman deceased, and would recommend W H. Wilson as a suitable person therefore.

Yours truly O.F. Rankin

April 25th 1862
