Gov Pettus

D^r Sir,

I heartily write with the friends of Geo C Summey in recommending him for the office of Quarter Master. He has long resided among us, and from his Success as a financier, his practical business qualities, his tact in controlling men, as ^well as^ his notoriety for public Spirit and undoubled integrity we feel confident you could not appoint a more efficient man to the office

You will please lay this before the Military Board if the appointment devolves upon them.

Yours Most Resptlly

R Paine
