T. H. Rose to Richard Yates

Jacksonville May 23.61.

Gov Yates

Dr Sir

You are crowded with business - yet let me beg you to read my letter. I will be brief.

I am here at [Lane?] Sinclairs through advice of Drs Prince & Long to seek a practice. Have been here 3 weeks - long enough to know that I cant do any thing. I am flat - and want business. Your friend Mr Atkins told me of the press of business there - can I get temporary Employment on any terms. You will find me all right every way. I will do any thing I can do - only give me the oppertunity. I hope ultimately to hear favorably of an appointment in the P.O. Department but just now am in a tight spot For Heavens sake Gov Yates, if you can give me work, let me hear from you by return mail.

Your friend

Dr. T. H. Rose

Dr T. H. Rose

For office
