As there are but two minors, and the gentleman who has intermarried with one is anxious for the law, and as we think the provisions of the bill are so modified as to be protective of the rights of infants, we again solicit your attention to the subject. To obviate any objections which may arise from an idea of obstructing in any way the execution of the plan and location of the city, we are willing it should not take effect without the concurrence of the commissioners of the federal buildings, so far as the location of lanes and alleys is contemplated in the said bill, but as we consider the interest of the individuals may be materially promoted by the passage of the bill, we hope upon reconsideration you will pass it under such restrictions and provisions as may be thought proper.
