Hon Chas Manly
Raleigh

Yours of 1st inst is at hand, I accept the appointment of attorney for the University for Wayne County. If you have not made an appointment for Wilson Co - I would suggest William H Burns, as a suitable person. He is a graduate of the University, and is a young man who bids fair to succeed. He has recently settled at Wilson.

Yours &c
Wm T Dortch
