Letter to Benjamin Franklin Butler, the former United States Attorney General, in part: "I have made one alteration in respect to a statement of the rule of the Court which appears to be unanimous and of the existence of which I was not advised. It must have been passed I think long after my day. It is not true you know that I obligated to Mr. Graham. He and Mr. Moultry quarreled and Mr. Moultry refused to have further intercourse with him. I proposed that the gentleman retire and select new friends to which Mr. Graham replied to agree...I presumed it was not necessary to state the particulars farther than you have done." In fine condition.Format: ALS
