Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Sir:
The enclosed papers, including among those received from the U. S. Attorney of Massachusetts, a copy of a letter of Attorney General Stanbery of April 10, 1867, relating to the employment, and account for the professional services, of Hon. B. R. Curtis, are referred to your Department. I have
no doubt the services were rendered, and consider the amount stated to be reasonable.
