Palestine Anderson Co; Texas
March 21st 1867

Col Thomas Bayley
Sub: Asst Com.
Marshall Texas

Dear Sir
Your communication of March 3d 1866 was received, in which you said my application for the Agency of the Freedmen's Bureau would be considered - Since that time I have patiently awaiting to hear from you on the subject. It is needless to say any thing in regard of my ability in conducting the office - I can procure sufficient recommendation. If there is any possibility for me to obtain the office, I should like the agency of Smith Cherokee or Anderson Counties. Your compliance will greatly oblige-

Yours Very Respectfully
And Obt. Sevt.
