Writes that he has been informed a petition was submitted to the state government to grant him a Justice's commission. This was done without his knowledge. He adds that several people have subsequently spoken against his reputation in response to this petition. These individuals charge that Morrill has invited "young men to my house to gamble with them & get their money from them." Writes that this is untrue. Asks if Knox may be able to provide him with names of the people who have injured his reputation.
