D^r Sir

A vacancy has occurred in the office of
solicitor general of the 12^th district by the
resignation of M^r M^cMeans. The Bearer
John C. Collier Att^o at law whom I beg
leave to introduce to your acquaintance
is a candidate for that office. He is a
man with whom I am well acquaint=
=ed. I can say that his moral character
is beyond all exception and I beleive [sic]
him well qualified to discharge the dut=
=ies of the office. If he should meet with
success it will confer an additional
favour on

yours &c Respectfully

R Whyte

Governor Joseph M^cMinn}
