Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, April 3, 1863

Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

Sir: On Thursday, the 1st instant, Mr. Clarence R. Yonge made his appearance at this legation. He announced himself as a native of Washington and a resident at Savannah. He had received a commission as paymaster in the steamer Alabama, on her departure from Liverpool, in July last, and had served in that capacity down to the time of her arrival at Kingston, in Jamaica.

The result is the document of which I have the honor to transmit herewith. I shall send another copy of it to Lord Russell so soon as it can be prepared. It comes, happily, in aid of other evidence at the moment in my possession, going to establish beyond a doubt the position of Captain Bullock as an agent of the rebel authorities within this kingdom.

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