Summary
Informing him that as he does not have "the manuscript from which my charge was read to the Grand Jury in my possession, and not having read it in the newspapers, it is impossible for me to say whether it has been correctly printed or not;" adding that if it is required by the Executive Department, he will "recover the manuscript & transmit his Excellency a fair copy of it."
