Early Governors' Papers

Winchester Tennessee July 9^th 1819

D^r Sir

Thomas J Campbell Esq^r has resigned his appointment of Solicitor for the 5^th Solicitorial District; And the place having to be filled by your appointment untill [sic] another can be regularly appointed by the Legislature I hereby make application to your excellency for the appointment. Our acquaintance is very limited you will therefore have to get information from other persons of my moral and legal character; Joshua Haschad of Murfreesborough has been acquainted with me for several years and can inform you as to those points, other applications in all probability will be made.

I have the honor to be with Sentiments of respect your humble servant

Samuel B. Moore
