Starkville Miss July 8^th 1865

To His Excellency the Governor.

I have the honor herewith to present recommendations for my ap-pointment to the office of Dist Attorney for the 6^th Judicial Dist of Miss. I see that appointments have been of the kind at Vicksburg and take it for granted that as the regular election of these judicial officers will not be held until October 1866, that appoint-ments will be made by you for the unexpired term. There is however difference of opinion on this question. Should you exercise this power I would be grateful for the appointment

Very Respectfully

C. A. Sullivan

Hd Q^rs Post. Starkville Mis

I certify that I am well acquainted with the major-ity of the signers of the within reco-mendation, am satisfied that they are loyal, that Mr Sul-livan is loyal and has the confidence of the Union men of this section and further that they desire his ap-pointment.
