Legation of the United States, London, July 16, 1863.
Sir: In obedience to the directions contained in your despatch (No. 630) of the 18th of June, I addressed a note to Lord Russell in respect to the claim made in the case of the Golden Eagle, destroyed by the Alabama.
At the same time I transmitted two depositions, furnished to me by Mr. Dudley, the consul at Liverpool, respecting the case of the Henrietta.
I seized the opportunity to send another representation as to the ownership of the Japan, which has likewise been supplied by Mr. Dudley. Copies of this note, with the accompanying papers, and of his lordship’s answer of the 13th instant, are herewith transmitted.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
