Yazoo City April 18^th 1864,

Hon'l Charles Clark, Governor,

Sir,

As President of the Board of Police of this county, I have used every means in my power To get a meeting of the Board for the purpose of acting on the provisions of this act—"Better to provide for the families of soldiers"—approved 2^d Dec'm 1863, but without success,—one of the members is a refugee in Georgia,—a second has gone to Rankin County temporarily,—a third one resides near the Warren County lines, & is considered with the enemies lines, & has not been here for nine months.—

As there is no probability that we will be able to have a meeting for some time, I think that necessaity of the case, requires, that your Exce-llency should make the appointment of commiss-ioners, as required by the 8^th Section of said Act We have the money in the Treasury,—the families need it,— [?] the commissioners to distribute it—

I take the liberty of recommending the following gentlemen as suitable persons to be appointed commissioners,—

for Beat No 1.	Joseph R Moseley,—
" [gap] " [gap] " [gap] 2.	James C. Bull,
