John Bell Brownlow wrote this inspection report in Knoxville, Tennessee on January 21, 1878. He discusses an anonymous collector in Arkansas who is apparently falling short of his professional expectations and says that the desire for this collector's removal is almost unanimous within his district. This letter was likely written while Brownlow was a revenue agent for the U. S. Treasury Internal Revenue Department. The letterhead reads Remarks of the Inspecting Officer and the report is entitled Report on Collector Cooper[?] of Arkansas.
