Sour Lake, July 10th" 1867 Lieut. J. T. Kirkman A.A.G. B.,R.F&A.L. Tex Sir:- Judge Walace, will call to see you in a few days, he is a thorough National Republican (I call him Judge because he is an atty, and was Judge Advocate for a long time, where we got in the habit of calling him Judge: I suppose that he is too young to have ever surved on the bench) He is now Depty. U.S. Marshal, at Houston; he wants to make a tour through the interior, if he can get something to pay his expences. I think he would make a good Inspector, and a proper person to talk to the people on the way; I therefore recomended him to call on you. Kent and Baldwin know him well I have the honor to be, Lieut, Respy Your Obd't Servt. C. B. Johnson (S.A.C)
