Hon Rich'd Yates

Dr Sir, I intend to make an application through [illegible] Farnsworth for the appointment of U S Marshal for the Northern Judicial District of Ills, and write you to solicit your assistance.

I intended to see you personally while you were here but saw you were constantly occupied by your official duties.

Enclosed please

find a letter from my friend Maj J H Mayborn of my County.

Should it please you to favor me in this matter I shall be greatly obliged, as I think with your assistance and that of others already proffered, I shall succeed.

Please have the kindness to address me at this place

Very Respectfully

Yours

T C Moore [Thomas C. Moore]
