Middletown, Conn—have been managing seminaries & high schools for some 25 years, and can furnish satisfactory testimonials from gentlemen of leading position & influence, both in this state & Alabama. I hope Governor, if you can aid me in secur-ing the appointment, you will do so, and rest assured that favor will be remembered. Mr Jarnagin is well acquainted with me.

Very
Respectfully
