W. A. Field to George S. Boutwell, 3 July 1869

July 3, 1869. Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury. Sir: I have considered the Internal revenue case of C. Borden of the State of New York. He proposes to pay, as a compromise, a specific penalty of $200—to consent to a forfeiture of the stills and distilling apparatus seized, and to pay all costs. I recommend that his proposal be accepted. Very Respectfully, W. A. Field, Acting Attorney General
