Title: Letter, April 18, 1882, A. Hopkins, Tallahassee, to Ellen Call Long, 1 p.: "It is reported and currently talked on the streets in fact the present PM makes it rather a boast that you 'went with two Negroes to the President to insist upon the retention of Stewart as PM.' I did not believe it and do not now. Dr. Conover by his conservative course has endeared himself to the People of this City and his appointment to this PO would give general satisfaction to nearly all White and Black. Let me ask your assistance in having him appointed." On verso, Mrs. Long notes: "Relative to appointment of Stewart a negro as Post Master -- I think the community preferred him to Conover."
