Letter

Hamilton Fish to S. R. Harlow, November 12, 1869

[120] *Mr. Fish, Secretary of State, to Mr. Barlow, United States marshal.

Sir: Your letter of the 8th instant, in which you inform me that you are continuing in your employment, the same as your predecessor, one superintendent and two or three detectives, as circumstances require, has been received. Your proceedings as therein narrated are approved. You are expected, however, to take care that no more expense be incurred in the employment of assistance than shall be required in maintaining a rigid enforcement of our neutrality laws.

I am, sir, &c.,

HAMILTON FISH.

S. R. Harlow, Esq., United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York.
