ToHis Excellency Neil S. Brown

Dear Sir

Through the Hon George A. Starkweather I take the liberty of addressing you, for the purpose of soliciting the appointment of Commissioner in this State to take acknowledments of instruments and papers to be used in your state.

I have been for sometime, and am now an attorney and counsellor of all the Courts in this State, and also of the U.S. Courts; and I think that I shall be able to perform with correctness and punctuality the duties of the office which I humbly ask from your hands.

I could, if it should be deemed necessary and prop= er, send to you letters from the Judges of our higher Courts and from several of my personal friends of this City, with some of whom you are probably acquainted and who would be much pleased to have me receive the appointment.

If your Excellency should be so kind as to confer on me the office which I so earnestly desire, my friends would be highly pleased, and I would feel indebted to you for a favor that it should be my study to reciprocate at the earliest opportunity.

Hoping to hear from Your Excellency as soon after the receipt of this letter as convenience wil permit, I am very truly your friend and

Mo. Obt. Servt

John Livingston
