Old Town April 26th 18590

Gov. Morrill

Sir

Circumstances having just transpired which render it probable that a change will be made in the office of Indian Agent for the Penobscot Tribe, I take pleasure in recommending to you Samuel W. Hoskins Esq. as the man best suited to fill that place by a thorough personal acquaintance with the whole tribe, their situation, wants and interests.

I fully believe that his appointment would give satisfaction to the Indians and also to the Republican party in this vicinity.

Respectfully yours E.C. Brett
