| Sir, |
| Herewith my Father will hand
you the certified oath of allegiance to the United States, as
required, together with my application for a special pardon, which I
have requested to be handed to you as the Legal Advisor of the
President of the United States. |
| If your views of public policy
will permit, may I as an old student and friend indulge the hope that
this application of one earnestly desiring to resume his allegiance to
the United States, may meet with your official approval &
recommendation. |
