Stubbs discusses local politics, stating that John R. Haun, newly appointed to the Board of Registration, can not agree with Frazeur, also on the board, thus Frazeur should be removed and L. I. Etchison (possibly Lorenzo Etchison) should be appointed in his place. Instructs Koonce to send Etchison's commission in the mail 13 October 1869. Includes a note written at the bottom of the page by Judge Thomas Chapline, also in approval of Etchison's appointment. Chapline instructs Koonce to transmit Ethchison's commission to G. W. Chase.
