IN pursuance of an act of Congress, you
are called on by the late commissioners to at
tend in person or by proxy. at Washington,
the May next, to elect five Directors, a
Treasurer and Clerk take the liberty thro'
this medium to offer myself candidate as
your Clerk. The advantage to the A!exan-
drians of the clerk residing in Alexandria, as
the office is to be kept in Washington, is OBJ
NOUS, and no injury can possibly arise from
this arrangement to the Stockholders in the
City. 1t will render unnecessary in case Of
transfers, that the persons conveying or re-
ceiying the conveyance should repair to the
clerks Office in the City to have the needful
done. True it is, that it may be done by
power of attorney but the trouble and ex-
pence attendant thereon is an Inconvenience,
independent Of the necessity of an agent to
effect the transfer; whereas the clerk residing
in Alexandria night be the means Of saving
that,expence and trouble by keeping a transfer
book there.
The lively interest ] have taken in the pro-
motion of the Bridge, in which | at present
own III my own name and those OF others, las
shares, I flatter myself will entitle me to
preference. over any that has no interest there
In. | shall be content to receive whatever e.
inolument the service may be deemed worthy
OF, or as low as any competitor that may be
presented for your suffrage.
