Stevenson, Governor of Virginia, poses questions regarding the condition of the Board of Registration (possibly of Jefferson County). Asks, "Are you sure Mr. Roderick is not having persons registered who gave voluntary aid to the Rebellions? I have received statements from quite a number of Republicans besides those you have named that the Registrars at least have registered very many persons who are not qualified voters under the law, and that there is great danger that the Board will allow the names to remain on the lists." Refers to the recent death of Judge Thomas Chapline. Informs Koonce of the appointment of Judge Hall to fill the vacancy caused by Chapline's death.
