BARLOW, United States Marshal to George F. Hoar, August 4, 1869

[Inclosure No. 3.]

Mr. Barlow, United States marshal, to Mr. Hoar, Attorney-General.

[Telegram.]

Attorney-General, Washington:

[758] *I do not think it worth while to stop work on the Spanish gun-boats, at least until they are nearly ready to sail. They cannot leave until we are willing, and if released the damages for stopping work would be heavy. Please telegraph if this is not satisfactory.

FRANCIS C. BARLOW,
United States Marshal.
