Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, July 24, 1863
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
No. 459.]
Legation of the United States, London July 24, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to transmit a copy of my note to Lord Russell of the 16th instant, together with two more depositions relating to the iron-clad vessel launched from the yard of Mr. Laird. I am given to understand that there is still much hesitation among the law officers as to the sufficiency of the evidence to establish intention in this case. I have not omitted to convey indirectly my conviction that any failure to act in season might be attended with the most serious consequences.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c., &c.
