STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.
Executive Office,
Jackson, Miss. July 17^th,, 1874.

Hon. Adelbert Ames.

Dear Gov.

Gov'r Davis made the following appointments to—day. J. F. Simmons 10^th,, Dist.]] T. R. Gowan 17^th,, Dist. and A. E. Reynolds 8^th,, Dist. Reynolds time expires to-morrow and the notification will not be sent out till then. Simmons is appointed on the grounds that Warren has not accepted. If you do not return soon the whole list will be filled out as fast as vacancies occur by expiration of term of office. Politically there seems to be a good chance to get things generally mixed.

Gibbs has gone to Galena Ill. to be gone ten days. I am going to Holly Springs to—night to see Gen'^l Emory about affairs in Vicksburg but shall not ask for troops unless abso-lutely necessary.

Yours truly

A. G. Packer
