Location is illegible. McKibbin, a United States Representative from California, informs Denver that Colonel Hooker will file an application for the position of paymaster in the army. Highly recommends Hooker, asking Denver to pay special attention to his application. Writes "We'll beat Broderick & Weller will be our next Governor" (possibly referring to David C. Broderick and John B. Weller, both United States Senators from California). Marked "Confidential" at the top.
