:. 10 July last for the nrst time discovered that
there was on 1e In the General Land ONCE an
official record OF patent issued to by direction
or the Secretary OF the Interior and President Lin
coin In 1853. The record OF this patent was COM
coin by Mr.. LneOns secretary to sign land patents,
Mr. w. o. Stoddard. Mr.. Stoddard mas made oath
tnat ne, In his oicial capacity, signed ths original
was destroyed IN the General Land once, and its
record suppressed and secreted until discovered by
me as before stated
In July last applied to Mr.. Wilson, the Commits
sloner or the Land ONCE, FOR exemplihed copy Of
this record Of my patent On the 18th OF the same
month Mr.. Wilson referred my request to Mr.. Cox,
with the recommendation that the copy should not
be furnished me- although he had previously prom.
1sed 1t ana was entitled to 1t by law; and ON the
18th OF July Mr. Cox issued an order TO Mr.. Wilson
to deace and destroy this record OF nv patent,
which order Mr.. Wilson carried INTO effect on the
25th OF the same month.
On the 18th Of last August Mr.. Cox ordered Mr..
Wilson to take up the application OF the New Idra
Company for patent for my property and pass upon
IT, and on the nth OF the following September Mr..
wilson awarded them patent Tor the same, the
issuing OF which has only been stopped by the order
OF your Excellency.
The fugitive charge made by Mr. Cox-that at
tempted 10 his favor by brbery-is as false
IT Is vague. judge my guilt was more in the neglect
than In the performance. The other incorporate
ana defamatorI language which MIR. Cox, taking ad-
age OF his Official position, has fit to use
your EXcellency toward me / deem unworthy Of
notice. The action OF your Exceency in giving no
Credence to IT, or any other OF his assertions relative
to me and my claim, and the few facts III the
herein presented are sufficient vindication for
Your Excellency's most ODedtent servant,
VIM. MCGARRAHAN.
To his Excellency Q. S. GRANT. Presiden mt OF the
United States.
