In April last I Transmited [sic] to you my Resignation of the Surveyors appointment in this County and being Requested by many citizens to Recommend to your consideration some person to fill the vacancy I will nominate Mr. Jarrett Poe & I have no hesitancy in saying that I believe him as well qualified as any Man in our County he is a Young Man of Steady & Morral [sic] habits & I have no doubt should you favour him with the appointment that he will fulfill the place to satisfaction of the public & with Credit to himself

your most obediant sert. &c Saml R Russell
