New Orleans November 18 / 1847

Your Excellency,
It was probably before your in=
auguration, that I addressed the Executive Department
of Tennessee, soliciting the appoinment of Commissioner
for that State, to have in Louisiana.

Under the fuss of new
Executive [illegible], and the cans devoting afar all levi-
ment ruler in the Legislature by reason of the present past?
Close Contrast for U.S. Senator, I presume that my ap=
plication has been for the moment overlooked.

I trust your Excellency will pardon me for
taking a moment of your time by an - application:
By my good friend M^r. Claiborne had trusted me by
his letter to renew my [illegible], and with this, to enclose
his Communication.

Please excuse the enclosure of my "card"
twice I wish your Excellency to fill, that if you wrongfully
appoint me, you will serve in excellent Company.
With high esteem

Y'Excellency's Obt. Servt.
Albert Childe Ainsworth

His Excellency
Neill S. Brown
Gov' of Tennessee
