MR. H. O. FLIPPER.

DEAR SIR: Yours of 26th at hand. I have concluded
to send the paper sent me to J. A. Holtzclaw, of
Atlanta, present Collector of Internal Revenue.
You can call on him and examine for yourself. If

three men to examine you, and if they pronounce
you up to the requirements I will appoint you.

Yours truly,

J. C. FREEMAN.
