Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, February 18, 1864
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
No. 601.]
Legation of the United States, London, February 18, 1864.
Sir: I have received from Mr. Dudley, the consul at Liverpool, a copy of a despatch addressed to him by the Assistant Secretary of State, directing him to take the necessary measures to reclaim certain persons charged with crimes committed on board the schooner J. L. Gerrity, under the provisions of the extradition treaty of 1842.
Previous to the reception of this information, I had, on the strength of a deposition made by the captain of that vessel, come to the conclusion to apply for a warrant to arrest four of the persons concerned in that enterprise, who were alleged to be in Liverpool.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
