3Ir. 3Iarcy to Mr. Sanford. 



Department of State, 

 Washington, Feb. 6, 1855. 

 Sir : Your letter of the 1st instant was received this morning. As 

 you manifest therein a desire that your letters to the President, upon 

 the subject of Mr. Shelton's claim, should be communicated to Mr. 

 Eames, expressing at the same time a willingness to prepare and for- 

 ward yourself copies of those letters, and of any others you may have 

 which will probably enlighten our minister upon the subject. I have 

 to state that there is no objection to your pursuing that course, and 

 corresponding directly with the legation if you deem it advisable. 



A compliance with your request to be furnished with a copy of the 

 correspondence of the department with Mr. Eames on this subject 

 would, at least, whilst the affair is pending, be contrary to the usages 

 of the department. 



I return the original power of attorney inclosed in your letter. 

 The copy accompanying it has been carefully collated with the orig- 

 inal, a few immaterial errors corrected, and it has been filed with your 

 letter. 



I am, &c., 



W. L. MAECY.
