From Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback Washington, D.C., Oct. 4, To My dear Doctor: I am sure you will be pleased to know your unceasing efforts to secure me Government employment fructified at last. Early this morning a communication from the Treasury Dept. notified me of my appointment for ninety days as an assistant agent of the Revenue Service, at ten dollars per day. It was signed by Mr. Hilles, Asst. Sec. Treas. Later in the day I called upon Mr. Hilles and thanked him for his good offices in my behalf, and assured him that you would be highly pleased to learn of my appointment. I took the liberty to show him your letter to me, written in mid-ocean, and he seemed greatly pleased with it. I remarked to him, after he had read your letter, that I did not take your tip to call upon him frequently, because I knew he was a veer busy man, and I felt assured he would do his best for me since you had requested it. In the course of our conversation he said my appointment would have been made two weeks earlier if it had not been for a hitch in the Napier case. The President desired to keep his promise to make Napier's appointment the first act. He could not get the consent of Senator Curtis, until last Saturday for the displacement of Vernon.

Mrs. Pinchback is slowly improving, and I have hopes of her full recovery. She had a close call. I see by the papers that you are having a royal time over there 392
