My dear Sir,

Thomas J. Campbell Esquire
has resigned as Solicitor for the Government
of the fifth solicitorial district or Circuit.
Mesrs Sam^l B Moore & Nathan Haggard
have said to me they would be applicants for the
pro tem appointment. It affords me pleasure to
say to you that say to you that, I am acquaint=
ed with them both; both in the social circles or
relations of life & as lawyers, that either would
discharge the functions of the office (in my
opinion) well & that the appointment of either
would be pleasing to the Courts, & people of
the Circuit.

Accept Sir the assurance
of my respect & esteem

Howell G. Harris
