Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens
"Liberty Hall" Ga.

My dear Sir & friend,
This it to
inform you that I have done
every thing in my power to secure
places both for your friend
Col G.A. Millen and your former
servant Pierce, and so far my
efforts have been unavailing beyond
a base preview of favorable
consideration. The application
of the former I have placed in
the hands of Col Fitzhugh the
Door Keeper, and that of the
