Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, December 22, 1863
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
No. 561.]
Legation of the United States, London, December 22, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to transmit copies of my note to Lord Russell of the 14th, and of his replies of the 16th and 17th instant, respecting the allegation of enlistments on board the Kearsarge at Queenstown. From the tone of his lordship I am led to infer the government is not altogether satisfied with the replies given by the consul and Commander Winslow; if so, it is not unlikely that the complaint may be transferred to Washington. I have for that reason abstained from entering into the question here any further than is necessary to state the views of the respective officers.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
Hon. William H. Seward &c., &c., &c.
