Dear Sir

I write to request as a special favor to our entire beat ^No 1^ that you will appoint H. A. Rice to office of magistrate As you perhaps already know P. H. Green is totally incompetent to discharge the duties of the office A petition to have Rice appointed has been gotten up and is now in Mr J Ste-vens' possession; but as you know all the facts in the case I deem it unnecessary to send it to you By compliance with the above you will greatly benefit both the white & colored people of this Police District Please let me hear from you

Yours respectfully

Clarke Lewis
