D^rSir

Powers L. Green of Little Falls in the
County of Herkimer and State of New York is de
sirous of obtaining the appointment of Commission
er of Deeds for the State of Tennessee

M^r Green, is a well educated Lawyer just
starting in Business of a high Moral Character
and now holds the appointment of Commissioner
from some other of the States.

There is no Commissioner for Tennessee in Herki-
mer County.

Herkimer County, is or rather may be termed the
great Cheese County of New York. there was paid
during the last Season to the Farmers of that
County something near $700.000. for the one article
of cheese hence the Business Transactions of that
County are large. A Commissioner of Deeds would
be a great accommodation to those who have Busi
ness Transactions with the State of Tennessee and
to such of your Citizens as may have Business to
transact with Herkimer County Inhabitants.

From M^r Greens Legal Education, being conversant
with the duties of the office and withal his high
Moral Character I can assure your Excellency, that
should you be pleased to give him the appointment
