Office Asst-Sub-Asst.Courrier Bureau Re,F.

Within the last five or six months, I have been compelled, with attending the sessions of the Provost Court to be at Bamwell O.H.several times and have consequently had the opper- tunity of seeing much of the Sherrif, and have also noticed the Gerlands way of performing his duties. I have had a high opinion of the honesty and integrity of the Sheriff and believe him to be a just officer in his dealings with all classes. The colored people of Bomwell o.H. had great confidence in him last summer as he was chosen by their a delegate to the Republican Late Convention
