A collection of six letters written in January, February, and March of 1907 on Department of Justice stationary from Attorney General Charles Bonaparte asking Justice McReynolds to serve as Special Assistant to the Attorney General, focusing on tobacco trust investigations and prosecutions. Justice McReynolds is asked to serve in this position because of his "proved ability, long experience, high standing with the courts, etc."  It is clear from the letters that Justice McReynolds has accepted this position and the subsequent letters discuss an appropriate salary and starting date.
