Clement Hugh Hill to William Darlington, 24 October 1871

Oct. 24, 1871. Wm. Darlington, Esq. West Chester, Penn'a. Sir: In answer to your letter of the 9th instant, I beg to say that no printed argument can be submitted in Gray and Darlington until the December term of the Court. Meanwhile, I will look over the case, with either the Attorney or Solicitor General, and let you know our decision. I am still disposed, should they approve it, to argue the case in writing, but, under the circumstances I do not feel that I am authorized to promise that it shall be done, without consulting them. The confusion of moving into our new offices has prevented an earlier reply to your note. Very respectfully, &c. C. H. Hill, Assistant Attorney Gen'l.
