Sir, I am informed by Judge Harper of this place, that you contemplate establishing Agencies of the Freedman's Bureau Throughout the State, I also learn from him that you have tendered to him, the Agency for this County but that for reasons unnecessary here to assign he had declined its acceptance. 
I would be pleased to receive, should it be your pleasure so to confer, the appointment. I refer you to Gov. Parsons of Montgomery and to Judge Harper of this place.
Respectfully
J.J. McLemore

I endorse the above and recommend the appointment of Mr McLemore
