EDWARDS PIERREPONT, United States Attorney to E. R. Hoar , Attorney-General, May 17, 1869

[59] *[Inclosure.]

Mr. Pierrepont, district attorney, to Mr. Hoar, Attorney-General.

Dear Sir: Yours of the 14th instant, relating to the Memphis and Santiago, came duly, and received prompt attention. There is no evidence as yet on which to detain them.

I would suggest that, if the Spanish minister would instruct the Spanish consul here to take some pains and collect some evidence relating to these matters, and bring it to my notice, I shall act with the greatest promptness. Up to this date I have never seen or heard from the Spanish consul.

Very respectfully, yours,

EDWARDS PIERREPONT,
United States Attorney.

Hon. E. R. Hoar, Attorney-General,
