NEW YORK, May 24, 1867.

Will the Secretary of State allow me to trouble him again, in view of my anxiety to have my sixth volume of Statutes at Large as accurate as possible: I refer to chapter 836 of the Laws of 1866, sections 5, 6, 7 and 8. Those sections speak of "section 84, article 3, chapter 9, title 9, part 1st, Revised Statutes; Section 87 of article 3, chapter 9, title 9; part 1, Revised Statutes; Section 89 of article 3, chapter 9, title 9, part 1, Revised Statutes; Section 149 of article 4, chapter 9, title 9, part 1, Revised Statutes." Now, as there are no such sections in the Revised Statutes, I desire to know if the act is correctly printed in the Session Laws?

of Laws of 1866, as referred to by you, are printed verbatim et literatim, as appears from the original on file here.

And when to that is added such errors as the establishment of a Capital instead of a Capitol Police District, and the incorporation of a Cavalry, instead of a Calvary Cemetery, it becomes quite apparent that there may be more errors in my book than are dreamt of in my part of the work.

NEW YORK, December, 1867.
