Dec. 6, 1871. Mr. Jacob D. Enos, No. 1416 I street, Washington, D. C. Sir: Your letter of yesterday arrived so late that I have not time to say more by way of reply than that I most heartily wish you success in your objects. I do not believe that the violent people of the South will venture to molest you now for exercising the right of a citizen. If they do, it shall be no fault of mine if they are not brought to justice. Very respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
