Letter from W.S. Holabird to "Dr. Sir"

Holabird, W.S.

1840-09-05

W.S. Holabird writes that he has not received from the Department of State or any other government department "instructions to make the admission which [was referred] to nor to make any other admission in the case." He discusses the instructions given to him by Roger S. Baldwin and corrects the letter writer's perceptions of instructions given to him.
