Early Governors' Papers

Bledsoe County July 14th 1819

Sir

I wrote you two letters from warren last week on the subject of a pro tem appointment of Solicitor. since the writing of those Letters an applicati =on has been made to me by Mr Nathan Haggard to write you on the subject, and though it is my strong view that Mr Moore should receive th^t appointment I think it due from me to any Gentle -man who is an applicant that I should state to you my opinion of him. I was Solicitor for the third Judicial District for some time myself. but it being large I employed Mr Haggard to prosecute in several Counties. I heard no complaint as to his prosecuting during that time. I have not practiced much with Mr Haggard but believe if he receive the appointment he will use his best exertions to discharge well the duties of his office very respectfully
