Nov. 14, 1871. Hon. Wm. W. Belknap, Secretary of War. Sir: I transmit for your information a copy of a letter described by the writer as unofficial, from C. W. C. Rowell, Esq., U.S. District Attorney for Arizona. I am unable to say how much consideration is due to his suggestions. But it is just to him to declare that, according to all my information, he is a zealous and faithful officer. Very respectfully, &c. A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
