Letter

Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, February 27, 1863

Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

No. 338.]

Sir: I now transmit the copy of a note addressed to me by Lord Russell, in answer to mine of the 19th instant, a copy of which was forwarded last week with my despatch (No. 328) of the same date. I believe this is the first instance of a censure by the government here of any act done by its subordinates during the present struggle. In the mean time, however, the Gladiator is announced as just arrived at Liverpool with half a million of the money.

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

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

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