Mr Yocum for permanent Agent soon, from my
long acquaintance with him I feel that I have
the right man for the place.

I would respectfully
refer you to the Capt. F.D. Douglass commanding officer
at Fort Wright for the truth of what I say, should
any might be brought to hear in form of Farren's appoint-
ment.

I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully
Your Oft. Serr.
