Sir

The undersigned Citizens of Oktibbeha County and State of Miss-issippi, have the honor to represent that they are well acquainted with Joseph A.

He is an old resident of the State, of sterling worth and integrity, has had some experience in the business of this department, has always en-tertained sentiments of loyalty to the Govern-ment and we doubt not, would discharge the duties of such a position with credit to himself and the true interest of the Country.
