Mr. Milledge, district attorney, to Mr. Weems.
My Dear Sir: Having just returned to this city from a very fatiguing pursuit after Cuban filibusters, whom I have delivered over to the United States commissioner at this place for trial, I feel that, under the circumstances, the Government I represent will sanction my employing counsel to assist me in their prosecution, and which I now respectfully request you to do.
After the proceedings which may be had in the matter, I will approve and send forward your bill for professional services, which I trust you will make as reasonable as possible.
Yours, very truly,
- JNO. MILLEDGE,
United States District Attorney for Georgia. - Colonel Weems.
