Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, April 17, 1863
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
No. 379.]
Legation of the United States, London, April 17, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to transmit copies of several notes, which have passed between Lord Russell and myself, touching the departure of a vessel called the Japan, alias the Virginia, equipped for the same general purposes as the Oreto and the gunboat No. 290. This vessel did not stop at Alderney, but received her armament from the Allar on the high sea, not far from the French coast. The depositions of two of the seamen, copies of which have been sent to you by Mr. Dudley, tell the whole story.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c.
