G. H. Holland,
State Treasurer.

Jackson, Miss. May 11^th,, 1875

His Excellency
Gov. Adelbert Ames

Dear Sir,

I would most respectfully request that the following Counties be added to my list in which I am to act as the Special Agent &c for the State, viz: Marshall, Lafayette, Benton Yalobusha, Calhoun & Carroll. With those already assigned to myself and others, this com-pletes the list for the entire North Western part of the state. None of the above have yet been as-signed, so far as I can ascertain. Have spoken with Maj. Gibbs, and he expresses himself favor-ably in regard to the selection.

Yours very truly

W^m,, B. Avery.
