Il friends that he has established with the consent
OF the Postmaster General, agency in Washing
ton for the transaction of all such business with the
Post Office Department those interested may see
III to intrust to his charge. After service OF five
in the contract office, and corresponding clerk,
with credit TO himself, and satisfaction to his official
head the undersigned feels hesitation In attending
to any business that may be confded to him. Claims
before Congress- land patents, marshas and mail
tractors accounts, fines, &c. pensions, and patents
for useful inventions, or other similar business, re-
curing an agent at the of Government, will be
attended to with despatch,
All communications, to receive attention, must be
post paid and enclose a retaining fee of five dollars,
or a proportionate to the Service to be per-
formed.
The undersigned refers to the members of Congress,
generally to the heads Of bureaus at Washington TO
his late brother clerks and to the principal mail
tractors in the Union.
The undersigned has blank bids, guarantees, and
certificates ready for bidding, and will send them TO
those requiring them. When it is considered that a
large number of bids at every letting set aside for
some informally in the guaranty or certificate, he
feels satisfied that the contractors VIII hnd their
count in procuring the blanks fl ON him statement
of the old pay and services routes desired, will
also be forwarded with the blanks.
The undersigned having been formerly employed
as clerk in the Patent Office and, from his expert
ence, being familiar with the routine of business in
said Office, will attend to preparing and filing speci-
caons and other papers including drawings for pro-
curing patents, and will transact all such other bus
ness connected herewith may require agent at

and the duplicate receipt for their patent fee, the
former of which may, in most instances, be forwared
by private conveyance, but if otherwise the cost of
carriage to be pad-the whole business of procuring
the patent may be transacted through the mall and

rendered unnecessary.

street near the Patent Office, and Immediately OPP
posite the northwest angle or corner of the General
Post Office Building.
The charges of the undersigned will be moderate
and when the application for patent may prove UNI
