Letter
Hamilton Fish to E. Rockwood Hoar , Attorney-General, May 15, 1869
Mr. Fish Secretary of State, to Mr. Hoar, Attorney-General.
[744] *Department of State, Washington, May 15, 1869.
Sir: I have the honor to inclose a copy of a translation of a note of the — instant, addressed to this Department by Mr. Evariste La Roche, chargé d’affaires of Hayti, setting forth the reasons he still entertains for the opinion that the steamer Florida at Chester, Pennsylvania, has been prepared and is about to start for the purpose of engaging in hostilities against his government. The expediency of requiring the security which Mr. La Roche indicates against a violation of the law of the United States in this case is submitted to your early consideration.
I have the honor to be, sir, yours, &c.,
HAMILTON FISH.
Hon. E. Rockwood Hoar, Attorney-General.
