of the office can be performed as well and as satisfactorily by an agent residing here as by one residing there. I shall [?] by [?] [?] letters from quite a member of influential gentlemen of the republican party recommending me to you for appointment. If I judge rightly[?] such recommendations & testimonials will have greater weight with you than a long array of names collected at random in the street, a large proportion of which are the names of men who know but little & care less about the object of the petition they sign. I hope a letter from Sir Kent [?] may also reach you[.] He is absent at [?] at present, I[?] [?] him asking[?] a letter[?] and Mr Hamlin who conversed with him there in relation to the matters understood[?] here[?] to say he would attend to it I[?] [?] with this a letter for Mr Wilson of Brewer who has had oppurtunity [opportunity] to know something of Indian affairs[.] I will [?] upon your patience no longer at this time and will close this somewhat lengthy communication by saying that if appointed by you to the agency it will be my aim to discharge its duties acceptably to the State & satisfactorily to the like[?]

Very Respectfully your own[?] servant[?]
