Headquarters Sub-Dist of Selma
Selma Ala. August 14, 1867

Bvt. Lieut. Col. O.D. Kinsman
Sub-Asst. Commissioner
Montgomery Alabama.

Sir;
I have the honor in compliance with your letter of July 16th to forward lists of Justice of the Peace in the counties of Wilcox, Dallas, and Bibb. I have been unable to get the report from Perry Co. As soon as received it will be forwarded.

I find it almost impossible to find men who can take the Dist Oath to fill the vacancies in the different counties.

I will forward names with the application for appointment as soon as I shall be able to find suitable men.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
Geo. Shorkley
1st Lieut 15th Infantry
Sub-Asst Commissioner
