Dear Sir; By request, of Major D. S. Jennings,
who is an applicant for the executive
appointment of atto Genl for this District,
I take the liberty of saying to you that I
have no hesitation in believing him to be
well qualified to fill that office, with
credit to himself, and to the entire interest
of the State. He has been a resident of
the District, perhaps, as long as any member
of the bar now in it. Major Jennings
qualifications are, I have no doubt equal
to the office ^and of any member of the bar belonging to the ^district - Your obt Hml sert
