The Governor is the chief executive of the state whose function is to administer the laws of the state. One of the activities used to accomplish this function is the appointing of individuals to various state and local offices and the signing of grants and commissions. The Governor may appoint Commissioners of Deeds in other states and territories of the United States to take and certify depositions, to receive the acknowledgment and to take proof of wills executed by persons without the state devising or bequeathing property within the state (Ala. Acts 54, p. 32 [1833]). Correspondence in this series relates to the function of appointing Commissioners of Deeds. The records include letters received by the Governor requesting appointment or reappointment to office, recommendations for the appointees, and acknowledgments of commissions and oaths of office.
