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.
