Jasper Texas Nov 8th 1868

Sir
The accompanying letter has been handed me and to prevent any steps taken to carry out its intentions I will say that Mr Browning the Agent for these counties is a sober man and a gentleman and well quallified for the position that he occupies and I would not accept the situation to his detriment

The object of this is to stop or counteract any attempt to Deprive Mr Browing of the office  Very respectfully
Seymour White
