Sir

Please find enclosed account for announcing your name for Governor. I also enclose your order. for the same. The note is addressed to the editor of the "Star," but that paper being long since defunct, the agent handed me your note, as the Beacon is the only paper published here, with a request to announce your name, which I did, and enclosed you several papers.

Verry respectfully

H. C. Ferris,
Ed Macon Beacon

P. S. If you think ^ proper^ you might hand the amount to Hon. J. D. Brooks, our Rep.
