Letter

Julius White to Benjamin H. Barrows, January 28, 1882

[Inclosure 35 in No. 331.]

Mr. White to Mr. Barrows.

Sir: As requested by yours of the 25th instant, I herewith forward certificate of naturalization, which I have just received from my friends.

I believe that, according to the theory even of British law, I am illegally detained here, as the warrant under which I was arrested was issued for John White, whereas my name is James White, and notwithstanding I protested at the time I was arrested tinder it and since detained.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

JAMES L. WHITE.
