His Excellency Chas Clark Gov State Miss Macon.

Several persons who are exempted by your Proclamation have by my advice procured certificate from the Proper Source viz: records of Police Court) and the same have been forwarded to the Commandant of Conscripts of the State for exemption which he has refused to grant unless you give a Certificate that he is such officer
I think you will have to take some prompt action to save innocent citizens who rely upon your proclamation for protection from much trouble
Respectfully
