Gov. W L Sharkey

Governor,

I have been requested to ask whether Justices of the Peace of Carroll County, who had them-selves taken the amnesty oath, are authorised to administer the oath to others—some seem to imagine that the Probate Judges only can administer the oath—an early reply will be kindly received—

Very Respectfully
Your obt Servt.

B. F. Jones
