Oct. 21, 1871. Hon. A. T. Akerman, Attorney General, Yorkville, S. C. My dispatch of yesterday was written in the Supreme Court Room while I was engaged in the argument of a case. On reëxamination of the original draft of the first Proclamation prepared by you, I find that you doubtless intended to name Union County, but it looks more like Marion. Shall I prepare a Proclamation as to Union County? B. H. Bristow, Solicitor General.
