Letter

Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, September 18, 1863

Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

No. 500.]

Sir: Lord Russell is becoming a little sensitive to the multiplication of the claims for damage done by the Alabama. A copy of his note to me of the 14th instant, in reply to mine of the 24th of August, on the case of the ship Nora, is now transmitted. I adjoin a copy of my answer. You will judge from it of the expediency of furnishing me with new instructions.

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

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

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