His Excellency James L. ALcorn

my Dear Governor,

I send by same mail an introduction from

Hon John Gartman	Senator of the 3r^d District
Hon J. J. Seal	Senator ,, ,, 1^st,, ,, ,,
Hon Murray Peyton	Secty. of the Senate

but owing to the death, and burrial of my poor old father, I could not have the pleasure of bearing the recommendation in person to you, So I have concluded to write and send it by mail.

I would also refer you to S. C. Norvell of Pass Christian, as to whom I am and what I am.

I have learned that you have sustained a great loss by having a great quanity of cotton burnt, and no insurance. I sympathise with you much, because we were burnt out during the war and lost evrything and I certainly know how to feel for you.

If you will bear my name in your memory, and can assist me in [page torn]y way in my County (Harrison) I will [page torn]iate it and ever be thankful to you. So if you think this worthy of your attention, I would be pleased to have a letter from you directed to Pass Christian Harrison County. Miss.

Respectfully

C. M. Bisbee
