To Donald Matheson, Esq:

My dear Sir,

In reply to yours of yesterday's date, which came to hand at a very late hour, I have to state that an information is about to be filed against Captain Larkins, the owner of the steamer Corsair, for the recovery of the penalties he has incurred for breach of the Post Office Law.

"You state in your letter", "that the fact of her (the steamer) carrying letters has been not only known, but acquiesced in by the authorities." If you would inform me who those authorities are, and can furnish me with legal proof that they were cognisant of and acquiesced in Captain Larkins taking upon himself the duties of the Post Office, I shall immediately file informations against them also.
