Gov Yates

Dear Sir

Among the numerous letters awaiting my return from our 4th July excursion, I found one from Mr. George Wright an old, wealthy and worthy citizen of Carrollton, Green County. You doubtless know him well, as he is one of your finest and most influential friends in that section.

He is an applicant for permission to open the National Bank in that Town, and asks me to see you and request a letter from you to the Comptroller of the National Currency at Washington, in his behalf and commending the measure.

This morning I have written Mr. Wright that I would address you on the subject and in that way communicate to you his request. He is a total stranger to all at Washington, and believes that a word from you would be very advantageous to him. Please aid him and oblige.

Your Obedient Servant

John R. Woods
