If it is your pleasure to appoint a District attorney for the 2nd Judicial District, I would ask the favor to be considered as an applicant. Although your acquaintance with me or with my character may not be of a favorable nature because of my dissapation. Yet, I would, that you should consider, that their may have been a cause, and that, that cause may be removed- My experience as a practitioner together with my MQral character as is known in the States, as well as, to many here coupled with my extensive poverty, are the only claims I have to apply for the appoint- ment. I refer you to J. C Watrous, P Jack Wm jnck & John Scott.- S. L. B. JASPER f Addressed:] To His Excellency l\f. B. Ln.mur- [Endorsed :] S L B Jasper Houston Mch 1839 Application
