Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward,

No, 1448.]

Legation of the United States, London, September 13, 1867.

Sir: Having received from Mr. West, the consul at Dublin, a report of the condition and treatment of Colonel Nagle, which seemed to me unreasonably harsh, I did not await for a response to the second representation made by him to the authorities, but at once addressed a note to Lord Stanley on the subject, a copy of which I have the honor to transmit.

The morning after that was despatched, I received your telegram on the same subject, calling upon me to renew my urgency for the release of both Colonel Nagle and Colonel Warren.

I have, in accordance with your desire, addressed a note to Lord Stanley, a copy of which I have the honor to transmit.

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

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

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