Item 09-847c: From Pierpont to Judge Fisher, Washington. "March 10, 1869 To Judge Fisher - Washington D.C. I am informed you have discharged a man from custody today who was arrested on my requisition, on the ground that Va was not a state. This is much higher ground than has yet been assumed by the Congress or Supreme Court of the United States. I must say that in my opinion your decision is arbitrary and without foundation in law [scratched out: or common sense] and I hope you will review it, and come to a more rational conclusion. F.H. Peirpoint, Gov.", 1869/03/10
