To J J Petus govr of Miss

We take the liberty of Stating to you that we have in our Company now at this place a man by the name of Fielding O Daves who is an excellent Hatter who has been engaged in the business for about ten years. We are of the opinion that he could be of much more sercice to the State just now by being placed in any position where he could work at his trade than to remain here Should your excellency concur in this opinion we would like to have him detailed to work at his trade either in Jackson or some other point ^at^ which he could be most Serviceable

Respectfully yours
