To the Governor and Council for the State of Maine

Gentlemen,

The undersigned having been honored for a number of years past with a commission of Coroner for the County Lincoln, and having neglected to comply with the requisition of the late law relative to Coroners, thinks proper to acquaint your honors with the same, that some person or persons might be appointed to that office in the town of Lewiston. And having the approbation of a number of Gentlemen of that town, do recommend Major William Garcelon and Mr Nathan Reynolds as suitable persons for that office.

The business of Coroner might be performed by one person, but the town being nearly twelve miles in extent in one direction it might be an additional accommodation to appoint two, the above persons being near the extremities of said town

Very respectfully

Your obedient Servant

Oliver Herrick

Lewiston, November 1820.
