Dec. 20, 1871.
Hon. M. H. Carpenter,
U.S. Senate.
Sir:
I am not aware of any intention to move to advance the case of the barque "Mary Merritt."
If it should become proper to make such a motion while I am in office, I will see that you have notice.
Very respectfully, &c.
A. T. Akerman,
Attorney General.
