Letter from Roger B. Taney to Unknown Recipient

United States Attorney General Roger Brooke Taney writes to an unknown recipient regarding a ruling in a recent legal case. "But there is no mode of proceeding in which their judgment can be revised" and, as Taney explains, "the Secretary of the Treasury [Louis McLane] is bound to pay according to their award." While " the only possible remedy now left is an application on to Congress," Taney argues that such a step is "not worth the effort." Transcript included.
