Newspaper Tidbit: Decline Candidacy for Sheriff

Alexandria Gazette
11 December 1857

NOTICE -- My name appeared sometime since in the Gazette, as one to be voted for as Sheriff of Prince William County, at the ensuing election, but circumstances (which is not necessary to mention) render it impracticable for me to be a candidate for that office at this moment and through this medium I respectfully decline, and return my sincere thanks to those whose kind feelings have brought my name in connection with that important office.

Respectfully,

F. A. Weedon
Prince William County, Va. dec 11 - eo3t
