Hon: John M. Clayton
Secretary of State
Washington

Sir:

I have the honor to report to you that the Grand Jury of this District yesterday prepared Indictments, for violation of the Act of 20th April 1818, against the following persons, Narciso Lopez, Laurent J. Sigur, Donatien Augustin, John A. Quitman, John L. O'Sullivan, Theodore O'Hara, John Pickett, J. R. Hayden, Chatham R. Wheat, Thomas Theodore Hawkins, W. H. Bell, M. J. Bunch, Peter Smith and Ambrosio Gonzales.

I did not call witnesses to testify against any person below the rank of Major in the Expedition. Most of these persons have entered into Bonds for appearance at the next December Term of the Circuit Court.

At the date of my correspondence with you before the investigation I was not in possession of the facts since developed, or I should have greatly qualified the opinions therein expressed.

I am now satisfied there was Military organization here.

                                                                                        I am, most respectfully
                                                                                        Your Obedient Servant

                                                                                        Logan Hunton

U.S. Attorney
