Description
A letter in which Ellis Gray Loring explains that he did not take the Spanish Consul's deposition because immediately upon receiving Lewis Tappan's Letter, the news came of Judge Judson's decision. Loring supposes that in order to take the deposition he must have a commission from the Court or else give not to the "adverse party." He makes it known that George S. Hillard is a U.S. Master in Chancery and a good man. It is requested that Tappan consult with Theodore Sedgwick; he is then informed that Loring has written Roger S. Baldwin regarding the matter.
