Letter
Charles R. Lowell to Mr. Fogarty, March 8, 1881
[Inclosure 4 in No. 331.]
Mr. Lowell to Mr. Fogarty.
Legation of the United States,
March 8, 1881.
March 8, 1881.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th of March, inquiring what my course would be in case you should be arrested under the coercion act; I have to say in reply that whenever such a contingency should arise, and I should be consulted on the subject, I would give to it my best consideration, and do whatever my duty might require. It would be manifestly improper for me to express any opinion upon a hypothetical case.
I am,
J. R. LOWELL.
