Dear sir/

In the year 1799 I Rec.^d the appointment
of a Justice of the peace for the County of Montgomery=
In which Capacity I have acted to the best of my skills &
Judgment ever since till now, Other business
Calls my attention, I therefore send forward my
resignation, though I Conceive it Necessary for a
Magistrate to reside in the Neighborhood that I live
in, would name M^r. Jn^o. Stirling to fill the
place.- I am sir with Sentiments of high
Esteem your Obd^t. Serv^t. &c &c
