Mr. Monroe, Secretary of State, to Mr. Glenn, district attorney.
February 15, 1817.
Sir: I have the honor to send you inclosed translations of three letters from the Chevalier de Onis to this Department, dated the 10th and 12th instant, on the subject of alleged violations of the laws of the United States, in the cases referred to in these letters, to the injury of the subjects of the Crown of Spain, and asking the interposition of this Department toward obtaining redress in behalf of the parties particularly aggrieved. As far as your official interposition or co-operation may be proper, you will be pleased therefore to use it.
