Dec. 12, 1871. Hon. H. W. Blodgett, U.S. District Judge, Chicago, Ill. Sir: I have received your letter of the 8th instant, with the enclosed draft of a bill for supplying the lost records etc., and of a joint resolution for the relief of the Marshal for losses by fire. At first glance I see no objection whatever to the bill, and none to the joint resolution, except the want of distinctness in one particular, and this I will suggest to Judge Trumbull. Very respectfully, &c. A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
