OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
FOR WORCESTER COUNTY,
June 4, 1867.
Hon. Richard B. Carmichael,
President of the Constitutional Convention, Annapolis :
SIR :—I regret my inability to comply with the request con-
tained in the aforegoing order/ and respectfully state as a
cause of said inability, that there are no records or papers be-
lojiging to this office from which I can make the required
statement. While I might furnish you such a statement for
the limited period of my incumbency, it would be impossible
for me to include in said statement any part of my predeces-
sor's term of office without first procuring the requisite memo-
randa from his private books or papers. I therefore beg leave
to refer you to our semi-annual returns on file in the office of
the Comptroller of the Treasury, and from which, with very
little delay or trouble, the requisite statement can be made.
Very respectfully your ob't serv't,
GEO. H. RICHARDSON, Clerk.
