Lunsford Lane, the petitioner herein, has been servant to the Executive

Office since the 1st of January, 1837, and it gives me pleasure to state

that, during the whole time, without exception, I have found him

faithful and obedient, in keeping every thing committed to his care in

good condition. From what I have seen of his conduct and demeanor, I

cheerfully join in the petition for his relief.
