Letter from James P. Newcomb to David Dickson informing him of his appointment as Grimes County Treasurer.

Photograph of an older middle-aged man with light-colored, receding hair and dark eyebrows, wearing a dark suit and tie. He is standing behind a small wood podium, set upon the surface of a long rectangular table with a light-colored tablecloth on it. To his left, four women of ages ranging from young to elderly, sit in chairs behind the table, angled right so they are looking at the man. On the table in front of the women, there are clear drinking glasses with liquid in them, salt and pepper shakers, saucers, cutlery, napkins, and small ashtrays. The group is in a room with a partially wall-papered, partially wood-paneled wall behind them, upon which two large, ornate, rectangular mirrors hang. There is a piece of paper attached to the back of the photo, which lists the names of those pictured from left to right as: Mrs. Pat Bailey, Mrs. Alfred Shepperd, Mrs. Nola White, Mrs. J. C. Davis, and John Ben Shepperd.
