Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

No. 838.]

Legation of the United States, London, December 22, 1864.

Sir: In conformity with the instructions contained in your No. 1172, of the 3d instant, I immediately forwarded to Commodore Craven the packet which came addressed to him. At the same time I wrote to Mr. Dudley, the consul at Liverpool, requesting him to be on the watch, and to give me all the information he can procure respecting the movements of Mr. Leon Smith. Thus far, he writes me, he has not found anything. I am inclined to believe it one of many projects entertained and afterwards abandoned for want of means.

Should any evidence of a decided character turn up, I shall not fail promptly to use it in the way indicated.

I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

CHAELES FRANCIS ADAMS.

Hon. William H. Seward Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
