OF McREYNOLDS COURSE

To Attorney General McReynolds, the
President yesterday wrote as follows:
my dear Mr.. Attorney General:
Allow me to acknowledge with sincere
appreciation your letter of today. giving
me full account of the way in which
the Department of Justice has dealt with
the Diggs-Caminetti and the Western
Fuel Company cases, pending in Cali
fornia, and transmitting the documents
connected with the two cases necessary
for their calculation. / am entirely salts
fed that the course you took in both
cases was prompted by sound and i'm
partial Judgment and a clear instinct for
what was fair and right. i approve your
course very heartily and without hesita-
ton. But I agree with you that what
we may think of what has been done
does not relieve US of the obligation &c
presS these cases with the utmost dill
gence and energy. I approve very heart
ily of your suggestion that. in the cir
cumstances, special counsel be employed.
the ablest We can obtain. ! will be very
glad to confer with you about the Sc
lection. hope that you are giving your
personal attention to the immediate and
diligent prosecution of the cases. which i
agree with you in regarding as of serious
importance from every point OF view.
Sincerely yours,
