June 9, 1870. Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. Sir: Your letter under date of yesterday enclosing a telegram from the U. S. Marshal of California relative to the proceedings of the master of the British ship "William Wilson" has been received. I do not find any thing in the communication which, I think, requires any action by your Department, and I will so inform the Marshal. Very respectfully, E. R. Hoar, Attorney General.
