Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress with the Annual Message of the President, December 2, 1872, Part II, Volume I

Mr. Hoar, Attorney-General, to Mr. Fish, Secretary of State.

Attorney-General’s Office,
Washington, June 11, 1870.

Sir: I have the honor to inclose a copy of the instructions which have to-day been sent to the district attorney of North Carolina, in relation to the settlement of the case of the Hornet, or Cuba, and which are, I believe, in conformity with the wishes of the President, as communicated by you to me. I inclose with them the bond which has been given by the claimant of the vessel as a condition of the settlement, and a check for twenty-five hundred dollars paid by the claimant in settlement of such of the expenses incurred by the United States in relation to the witnesses, &c., as it has been agreed he should pay.

Very respectfully,

E. R. HOAR,
Attorney-General.

Hon. Hamilton Fish,
Secretary of State.
