Mr. Dudley to Mr. Adams.

Sir: I have the honor to enclose you a copy of an application, by me made yesterday, to the collector of customs at Liverpool, to stop the iron-clad ram building for the insurgents in the United States by the Messrs. Laird, at Birkenhead, and launched from their yard on Saturday last; also copies of William H. Russell’s, Joseph Ellis’s, Clarence R. Yonge’s, G. T. Chapman’s, and my own affidavits, upon which the application was based. The affidavits were made before, and the originals left with the said collector.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

THOMAS H. DUDLEY.

Hon. Charles Francis Adams, United States Minister, &c., &c.
