Sir
I have to report that I have this day opened my office in Palestine and entered upon the duties of my office and commissioner operations.

For the present I have rented an office at five ($5.00) dollars per month. I have made an agreement with Wm. V. Turnstall as clerk and wish you to send me his appointment as clerk. Business is accumulating rapidly. We will have all we can do for a great while.

Please send me stationary blanks and forms. Or shall we procure them here.

We very much need a Physician. One Dr. Geo. D.
