BRANCH FARMERS' BANK OF MISSOURI,

E. M. SAMUEL, PRESIDENT.

G. BIRD, CASHIER.
Liberty, Mo., June 11, 1863
His Excellency
Jas. F. Robinson

Gov of Ky. Sir. In 1852 I was appointed by Gov Powell a Comr of Deeds for Ky in Mo — Since the breaking out of this rebellion I have had my doubts about the propriety of acting, altho I have been frequently called on. Will you please inform me whether or not I can do so. I am, and have ever been a loyal man, unconditionally for the Govt & the Union. It is a matter of importance to our people (who are mostly Kentuckians,) to have such an officer here.

I am, Sir,
Very respectfully
Edward M. Samuel.
