The President,
Sir:
The enclosed application of Mr. Haskins for a military cadetship for his son, has been referred to me by your order. I think that this reference must have been made by mistake, as this Department has no connection with such appointments; and therefore I respectfully return the application.
With great respect, I am, Sir,
Your obd't serv't,
A. T. Akerman,
Attorney General.
