Stickney, chairman, U.S. Direct Tax Commission, and Rufus Saxton, military governor of Florida, Beaufort, South Carolina, March 16, 1863, asking that Judge Philip Fraser of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, ``with a marshall & district attorney be assigned to active duty in Florida.
