Columbia September the 5^th 1820

Dear Sir,

M^r James Scott of Vernon wishes as he informs me the appointment of Soliciter [sic] in the room of M^r M^cmeans who he informs me has resighned, he read Law in this place and obtained a licence [sic] not very long since I had always entertained an opinion that he was a young of good mind and possesed an energy and industry that would ensure him a respectable standing at the bar I expect he has as well matured what he has read as most young men of his age and beleive [sic] as Solicitor would do as mutch [sic] justice as most men of his age and experience in the Country indeed I have no acquaintance with any young man in that section of the Country that I should as well depend on as Solicitor as M^r Scott.

with sentaments [sic] of respect I beg to remain your obt servt

P. R. Booker
