April 10, 1871. M. de Graffeuried, Esq. Atlanta, Geo. Sir: I have received your letter of the 6th instant, and regret that the Act appointing the Commission makes no provision for a representation on the part of the United States Government. I fear that the Government will lose in consequence of this omission, but I have no authority to supply defects in the law. Very respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
