Honorable Farris Bryant

Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Farris:
Now that you are out of Public Office I felt
constrained to comment on your recent appointments to
the Judiciary.
You did, in my judgment, do a great disservice
to the people of Dade County by failing to elevate Judge
hay Nathan to Circuit Court.
Judge Nathan was the founder or anizer and the
inspirational head of the hardest working ourt, bar none,
in Uade County. hhether it be on the basis of qualifi-
cations, competence, or Just plain political patronage,
it seems inconceivable that you could have bypassed him.
Certainly, if you contemplated offering your-
self again for public service, pe ps as United States
senator, your latest Judicial appointments could be your
political death-knell in Dane County.
In almost the twelve (12) years that the Dade
County Small Claims Court has been in existence not one
Judge has ever been elevated.
Thus the Small Claims Court continues to be a
dead end to Judicial advancement.

Honorable Farris Bryant
It certainly might have been more cogent and
logical to elevate those from the lower Judiciary to the
higher, than to appoint those with no Judicial experience
to the highest Trial Court.
I certainly wish you well in your new law
practice.
hith kindest personal regards to you and yours,
I am,
,81ncerely,//>
