John A. Andrew to George L. Stearns, Monday [October 24, 1859]

My Dear Sir:

I went over the subject last evening, canvassing the books and cases with great care, occupying some four hours. Enclosed is my conclusion. I see no possible way in which any one can have done anything in Massachusetts for which he can be carried to any other state. I know nothing for which you could be tried even here.

Yours very truly,
J. A. Andrew.
