[508] *Mr. Addison, district attorney, to Mr. Cushing, Attorney-General.

Sir: Immediately on receiving your letter of the 8th instant, I took measures to ascertain if any preparations were being made in this district to recruit men to take part in military operations in Nicaragua, and became entirely satisfied there were none.

I shall continue to exercise all my vigilance to detect and defeat the expedition, should one be organized.

I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant,

WILLIAM MEADE ADDISON.

Hon. C. Cushing,
Attorney-General.
