Lot of 2 letters. 1. Written by Deputy F.R. Brotherton on the letterhead of the County Clerk of Nye County, addressed to Gen. R. M. Keating in Virginia City. In his letter of April 1, 1895, Brotherton is asking Keating for his help in recommending Brotherton to the position of Post Master of Belmont, since the present Post Master is resigning. 2. This letter is again from Brotherton to Keating, dated October 25, and written this time on the letterhead of the United States Post Office, Belmont—Frank R. Brotherton, Postmaster. He mentions that Katie M. Sharp "has not backed out since I heard from her some two weeks ago. I will write to her at once and let you know what she says.” He also notes that Angus McArthur has left the Pahrump office and A.C. Hayes is back.
