Dear Sir
Some time since I sent you
the enclosed letter with a request that
you would send me the papers in
the cases therein named. You reply
that it is irregular to send out the files
of your office except under particular
circumstances - but say you will furnish them to a committee if they
should be refered &c. How can I refer
them to a Committee unless I first
get them myself. The circumstances
in this case are very particular. I am
the representative of these people and
as such, by proper authority, ask to
withdraw the papers to refer them
to a committee of the house. In and
then letter to me dated Jany [January] 20th you
say that the papers of Arthur R
Frogg have been withdrawn by Hon
A Cullum to present to the house
This was done under precisely sim
Page 37

ilar [continued word from previous page - similar] circumstances I presume.
I must again request you to send me
the papers refered to in Mr Dabneys letter, and hope on reconsideration
you will find ^it^ consistent to do so
I have the honor to be respectfully
