Dec. 18, 1871. Leander Holmes, Esq. U. S. Attorney. Vancouver, Washington Terr. Sir: Your letter of the 28th ult. is received. If it should appear that the only real objection to you is that you prosecute offenders without regard to their political relations, I shall certainly not favor your removal. Political friends have no greater right to break the law than political foes. Very respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General
