Freeport August 24th 1820.

Sir

A few years since I was requested to take a Justices commission, but on account [one struck through] account of my other business declined - If your Honor together with the Council should think me a suitable person, I should like now to obtain one -

Through all the scramble for office under the new Government I have remained quietly at home and have sought for no office - I now solicit a small one, but if you should think it inexpedient, I shall readily acquiesce in your opinions

Your very humble servant -

Saml. Holbrook -

Hon. Wm. King. Gov. -
