Hickman County version
April the 17th 1812
Sir I have receved a commission for
Edmon Gee but there is a mistake [two words lined out]
he was appointed Lieutenant
but the commission is for Ensign
perhaps the mistake might have
been in me as the return of the
Election was Either lost or mislaid
by me you will therefore send
a commission to him as Lieutenant
as soon as posable by male and all
returns be pleased to send by male as
that is the safest way and if there should
any mistake happen in any returns
sent on by me let me know as I
rectify them
Dear Sir I am yours
With respect
Wm Phillips Col
3rd regiment
To Willie Blount Exqr
Governor of Tennessee
NB
I also send you a certificate enclosed of
My Election as Sheriff you will be
pleased to forward my commission as
Sheriff as soon as possable and date it
to the time of my Election I have
been acting in that place four years
and never been Commissioned but it is
thought Beneficial at this time to be commisson
ed agreeable to the constitution
Wm Phillips
