United States Attorney General Roger Brooke Taney responds to a request to write a letter on behalf of a friend applying for a divorce. "When I was a member of the Senate," Taney writes, "I voted against all the applications for divorces...not only from the religious opinions I entertain, but because I believed them to be wrong...this opinion I often expressed in debate in the Senate—I have not since changed it."
