United States Attorney of this District, Hon. D.T. Corbin, that he take charge of such cases of these claims, as I may put in his hands for prosecution. He expresses his willingness to take them, but advises me that such an order is necessary to permit him to do so. Let the order provide that his pay be rated & made by that Department, as is usual in civil cases in his hands. I have already looked over the list with him, and he has indicated some seventy or more that he thinks it would be beneficial to make examples of. I will await your instructions in the matter.

I am General
Your Obt. Servt
