Brunswick Oct 18th 1861
 
To His Excellency
Governor Joseph E. Brown
 
Governor,
   Mr. Haselehurst informs me that since the 16th ulto: circumstances have occurred which will prevent him from serving me as Treasurer, but that his son will serve, and that he has recommended him to you.
   I have known Mr William Haslehurst for seven years. He served under me on this Rail Road as Station Agent at this place. He is fully competent as an accountant to act as Treasurer and Auditor, and will have the advantage of the advice of his father. Mr. Robert Haslehurst will do all in his powers to aid him if required, and you will have his services, should you appoint his son, to the same exlence as though he had been Treasurer. 
I have the honor to be
Your Excellencies Obedient Servant
Charles L. Schlatter   {Superintendent, Brunswick & Florida RR}
{Everyone else spells the name "Hazelhurst"}
