Robert Ray, Esq.
Monroe, La.
Sir:
I have received your letter of the 13th instant, on the subject of a new District in Louisiana.
In my judgement, the judicial force of the United States can be advantageously increased in the South; and I shall lose no opportunity for
pressing the matter upon the attention of Members of Congress.
I am not quite certain whether a recommendation on the subject would be proper in my official report, but if satisfied that it would, I shall not hesitate to make it.
Very respectfully,
A. T. Akerman,
Attorney General.
question of new Judicial Dist. La.
