Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H Seward, September 14, 1867
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward
No. 1453.]
Legation of the United States, London, September 14, 1867.
Sir: In connection with my despatch No. 1442 of the 6th instant, I now have the honor to transmit a report from Mr. Atkinson at Hull, of the further proceedings in the case of Hoffman, to whom the counterfeit notes of the United States had been traced. It would seem that he received them in exchange, as he says, in good faith, from a seaman on board of the steamer Atlantic. The matter is therefore closed on this side of the water. Possibly it might be traced further in New York.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon William H Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
