Mr. Wirt, Attorney-General, to Mr. Glenn, district attorney.
Dear, Sir: I have seen and consulted with the President on the subject of your wish, that I would go on to Baltimore to aid in the prosecution of the crew of the Fourth July, and am instructed by him to state that his confidence in your zeal and ability in giving *effect to the laws of the Union renders the measure wholly unnecessary. [106]
In my letter of the 6th instant I took the liberty to give you very fully my views of the case, in compliance with a request in one of your former letters.
You will understand me, however, as not presuming to prescribe your course, but merely as offering for your adoption or rejection the suggestions which struck me at the moment as belonging to the case.
I am, yours, &c., &c.,
Elias Glenn, Esq.,
Baltimore.
