"I deem it most respectful to comply with your request by returning the copy of the resolution which notified me that the Senate advised and consented to his appointment."

"I would respectfully state that prior to the receipt of said resolution I had signed the commission to Mr. Laurason and transmitted it to the Secretary of the Treasury."

"And I therefore bring the subject to your consideration, to enable you to act upon it should you concur with me in this opinion."

"It appears to me that the protection of the public records and papers requires that such acts should be made penal and a suitable punishment inflicted upon the offender"
