Haight reports that he has received Hoffman's letter regarding the case of James Fitzmorris, and gives his opinion on the matter, which concerns Fitzmorris' attempted robbery of a jeweller's shop in Sacramento "with an iron wrench in hand." Fitzmorris, who may have been drinking before the incident, allegedly planned to murder the jeweller as well, but was unsuccessful, and fled when the injured shopkeeper called for help. Printed letterhead of the State of California Executive Department.
