Colonel.
I have the honor to recommend to the favorable consideration of the Asst. Commissioner Mr. _ Maxwell now residing at Indianola Texas, who is anxious to be detailed as an agent of the Bureau. Mr. Maxwell has been an officer in the U.S. Army and I think will make a prompt and efficient agent.

I am Colonel
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
