Ny DEARSIR J: The bearer, Mr.. James
E. Anderson, ofNew Orleans, is the gen
sleman in reference to whom, when last
| in Washington, ! had a private conver-
sation with; you, urging his. appointment
|, 10 q consulship. Mr.. Anderson has had
until now subordinate clerkship in the
custom house at New Orleans, which has
always been unsatisfactory to him, and
now his residence there has become so
unpleasant that he has abandoned it and
his clerkship. The circumstances in
which Mr.. Anderson has been placed
iand in which he has been compelled to
act q very difficult part are such as to
give him very strong claims upon the ad-
ministration in the public interests, and
III do most earnestly urge that some salts
factory public employment may be found
for him at once. Very truly,
| STANLEY MATTHEWS.
