Judge Buckles to Governor Markham.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 25, which was handed me at Suisun last night as I passed en route to Detroit. I am aware that the district attorney of Solano County has been putting forth every effort at his command to bring the guilty parties in the Vallejo trouble to justice, and I have referred your letter to him, with a request that he furnish your excellency with a statement of the trouble and what his efforts have been. Knowing the efficiency of police officers of my court and the zeal of the district attorney to bring offenders to justice, I assure you no effort will be spared to this end.

I have, etc.,

A. J. Buckles,
Judge, Fairfield, Solano County, Cal.
