No. 247.
Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. Morgan.
Washington , March 10, 1884.
Sir: I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 753, of the 18th ultimo, wherein you give a full and succinct review of your treatment of the case of Capt. George Caleb, late of the American schooner Adriana. In commending and approving your action, I observe that Senator Miller was apprised, in reply to his several letters upon the subject, that you had labored zealously in Captain Caleb’s behalf, and had done everything consistent with your official position. I shall now transmit a copy of your dispatch as the best evidence, if that were necessary, to support the Department’s statement to him.
The attorney of Captain Caleb at La Paz, Mr. Galan, has not so far addressed the Department directly in his client’s interests. You have been regularly furnished with all papers that have come to its knowledge respecting Captain Caleb’s case.
I am, &c.,
