the appointment. that many opportunities of obtaining all necessary information from gentlemen
of the profession personally acquainted with me, cannot
fail to occur. If it is compatible with your views
on the subject to dispense with such documents
Iit would saue me a great deal of painful
humiliation which would at least in the case of
those with whom I haue long competed at the bar,
attend my application for them. I allude particularly

Respectfully yours &c
Dudley S. Jennings

P.S. It is scarcely necessary to add that a communica
-tion from you, in reply to this or upon any other
subject would be received with pleasure

Jennings
