The forwarding of this letter of Wm Howard to Atty Genl Taft has been by me unavoidably detained. It should have gone forward some days since. The parties refer[r]ed to therein have been fleeing from justice over two years. Several unsuccessful efforts have been made for their arrest. I am gratified that Wm Howard intends to leave no efforts untried to secure their capture and I hope that he will be seconded in his efforts by the Department of Justice; and I think that these men can with proper diligence, through the aid of a detective, be arrested and brought to justice.
