OFFICE OF Clarke & Huggins,
Attorneys at Law, and Solicitors in Chancery.
Greenville, Miss., March 10 1871.

Gov. J. L. Alcorn

Dear Governor:

According to my promise, I take great pleasure in saying, that, the two Clerks of this County, M^r Fawn & M^r Laundon, are I believe giving general satisfaction; and the caution given them on the temperance question; has had ^a^ very salutary affect, In M^r Laundons case I think it has made a strictly sober man, and I am satisfied the reformation will be lasting. I trust no effort will be made for their removal, as they are both sound Republicans, and we have no men in the party competent to take their place.

Very Respectfully

Cha^s W. Clarke
