Southern Colored Republican Gets Beaufort Collector Post

A letter to Malone of Pittsburg Post Office building outlines foreman Jobson taking charge of construction duties, with Windrim guiding final work. Senate ally Quay appears in city politics via Thomas T. Penman of Wilkes Barre named Internal Revenue Collector for the Twelfth Pennsylvania district.
