Letter from D. B. Seal to Mississippi Governor Adelbert Ames; November 24, 1874

Bay S^t_" Louis Nov^r_" 24^th_{" "} 1874.

Gov. A. Ames.
Jackson

Dear Sir.

Enclosed to you the account of George W. Johnson who was selected to go to the City of New Orleans with the requisition for the arrest of the parties mentioned in the account as aiders and abettors as Seconds, Surgeons & Aids in the Duel in which Aristides Bienvenue was killed y A. B. Philipps, as Agent on the part of the State of Mississippi. Mr. Johnson was not success-ful in apprehending the parties, but I have every reason to believe that he used every effort in his power to have the parties arrested; he was selected by my self as a suitable person for the occasion. The parties having received in some way from Jackson through an unknown chan-nel, intimation of the issuance of the requisition, made good their escape

I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully

D. B. Seal
