Cousin James.

There is considerable talk about our Board of Supervisors. Some think you will not send their Commissions. I will say they are all nice men, and I would like for them to get their commissions, as soon as possible, D^r,, Rhew is anxious to hold the Office of Treasurer he is a good business man gives genial satisfaction Except to Cojgshall? & Stanley, And I hope you will retain him in Office, Our County is very quiet and prosperous—

I am as ever Yours truly

W^m,, A, Alcorn
