DEAR SIR-Sin1e the action of the legis.
la'nre in providing for the appointment of
financial agent OF penitentiaries, partial
friends from various parts OF the state
have been pleased to express TO me IA.
vorable opinion OF my capacity to render
the state some service in such q position.
While the pepitcntiary bill was pending a
number of members of the legislature
asked me II would accept the financial
agency rendered, II had not occurred to
me that the plan of management would
9 MIRAGE the creation OF such func,ionary.
| had made certain arrangements TO 90 ac.
lively into private business a short time
before, but after rejection said TO friends
That II penltentiary board should think
proper to eppoint me to the position al A
sumcient sa'my would accept and devote
myself wholly 10 the important work be.
lote me, with perfect confidence Of contrib
utlns 10 success IN the general results, |
nave nesiiated to signify that an appoint

OF making formal application has been
so general That IN the absence of any from
myself II might be inferred that | did not
want To be considered In connection with
the appointment, j, therefore, deem IL
not improper 10 respectfully present to the
,,nn no Hna'ni. a,,' ,n.s, my nppiica'
tlon hs financial agent OF the peniteutia.
Larles' ~ may be some time before the
ooard WIN take action; 1t would BE- crafty

,'on VI your ulsposition IN this matter.

pltssloh as indicative OF your individual
views, out IL would Justify me In holding In
suspense my private business, which other
wise should claim my individual attention.
