Nov. 10, 1871. Mrs. Caroline L. Miller, Charleston, S. C. Madam: I have received yours of the 29th ultimo, forwarded from Yorkville. While you have my warmest sympathy, I do not feel that it would be proper official action for me to arrest the prosecution against your son. I cannot suppose that he will be convicted in New York, unless he shall be proved to be guilty, and in that case I know no reason why he should not suffer the penalty. Hoping for your sake, as well as his own, that the investigation will show him to be innocent, I am, yours respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
