Attorney General's Office,
April 9, 1866.
To
Caleb Baldwin, Esq.
U. S. Attorney, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Sir:
You will find herewith a copy of a letter to Lieut. Gen. Grant. You will please investigate the matter, & if you find that the clerk of the court has been guilty of the disgraceful & dishonorable conduct with which he is charged, you will take such steps against him as are warranted by law.
I am, sir, most respectfully,
James Speed
Attorney General.
