His Excellency.
Gov. W. L. Sharkey.

Gov.

In your proclamation of July first, you appointed only Probate Clerks—now where a Clerk was elected Probate & Circuit—can he act in both capacities? I sold a horse before the close of the war for Confederate money—the pur-chaser failed to pay me prior to the close, & now holds the horse and refuses to pay any thing for him. I have sued out a writ of Repliven but we have no Circuit Clerk & I am therefore debared from my property.

Trusting to your clemency to pardon this in-trusion, I beg leave to subscribe myself—

Your obe'dt servt

Frank. N. Gayden
