His Excellency
Adelbert Ames,
Governor.

Dear Sir—

Yours of the 27^th_" of Jany. last was duly received, as well as yours of the 4" inst. In reply I would say, that I addressed a communica-tion to the Attorney General on the 14" of Feby. asking his official opinion as to the necessity of sup-plying the place of a surety in case of his death, if his legal heir expresses no desire to with-draw as such from my bond. In a conversation with him in

[page torn] he replied that it is not necessary as the body of the bond binds all legal heirs &c &c. He prom-ised to give me his opinion in writing but has not yet done so, on account of his incessant attendance upon the Supreme Court. According to his opin-ion, therefore, my bond as State Supt. is good.

I have also consulted him as to the necessity of my giving an extra bond as member of the state Board of Education, my bond as Supt. being the same amount required of mem-bers of the State Board; but he has not yet replied. My predecessor gave but one bond as State Supt. or as Prest. of the State Board, as the two offices are combined, and the Atty. Genl. is of the opinion that this is all that is required. ^(expressed in conversation)^ I am legislated out as Treasurer of Tougaloo Normal School; and I do not think it necessary now to make a new bond.

Very respectfully &c.

T. W. Cardozo.
