Jacksonville, Fla.
Sir:
I am directed by the Attorney General to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th ult., enclosing your bill for services as special counsel in the case of The U.

The account should also have the approval of the judge before whom the case was tried, and is herewith returned for that purpose.
Very resp. yours,
M. F. Pleasants,
