His Excellency R. K. Scott 
Governor So. Carolina Columbia S.C.

Governor
I have been informed by Maj. W. H. Danilson that you are under the impression that I am on duty here, collecting the government liens in this county. Although you expressed your desire for me to assist Mr. Lockwood in the collection, I was not appointed to do so. It requires more energy and determination to be able to collect from some of the parties, and as I am naturally interested to see that as much as possible should be collected, as through me most of the issues were made to the planters. If you should still feel inclined to appoint me, I will be at your service. 

I am Governor 
Very Respectfully 
E. M. Stoeber
