_Dear Sir:_--

Replying to your letter of the 14th inst., I beg to state that I
cannot give you the dates as I was quite a boy and do not
remember, but Phil Joiner served one term, was followed by Israel
London, who served two terms, and who was followed by Howard
Bunts, who served one term. In Thomas County, Rev. Jack Carter
was a member, but I do not remember the dates.

Yours very truly,
Signed--
J.H. WATSON.

information, I was too young a boy to have any adequate or
understanding knowledge of the political affairs or status of
that period, so that I have no first hand knowledge of the matter

White's clerkship is only what I gleaned in conversation with my
father, and as he paid no special attention to dates, simply
telling me of things taking place during reconstruction, I have
only by that means, knowledge of some things without the dates of
their occurance.

I am very sorry I cannot give you the information you desire, I
should be glad to do so if I could.

May I add that I have read your article in the January "_Journal
of Negro History_" on "Some Negro members of reconstruction
conventions and legislatures." I note that the name of the late
Prof. John McIntosh, late principal of Mape St. School of this
city is omitted from the list of colored members of Georgia
legislature. He was a member of the Ge
