Please consult Judge B. on this change

If there should be but one Board. It is the desire of the Union men that J. W. Etheridge, Mr. Holbrook & John Wescott (Col) should Act. If being a register should debar J. W. Etheridge from being a canidate for the convention, then insert Saul Dowdy instead. If there should be two boards as Judge Brooks thought best.

1 Division Mr Holbrooke, John Evans & John Wescott. (Col) Divs 2. J. W. Etheridge, Saul Dowdy & William Thomas (Col). If J. W. Etheridge should be debared for reasons stated insert George Vance Slyke.

My impression now is one board is prefferable - for all concerned.

I am very Respectfully
