Letter
Francis C. Barlow to Hamilton Fish, July 15, 1869
Mr. Barlow, United States marshal, to Mr. Fish, Secretary of State.
[Telegram.]
New York, July 15, 1869.
103] *Secretary of State:
Have sent more marines to Gardner’s Island. Troops not needed at present. There will be no trouble in getting the men on Gardner’s Island to disperse, I think. I shall act discreetly and make no commotion.
The cutters and tugs have done all I asked; but I wish to know that I can depend on them.
Grinnell has given me every assistance possible, but is away to-day.
We can find no trace of the William Forster. Perhaps she is to come from some other port to take up men.
All is quiet, apparently: but we are looking out.
FRANCIS C. BARLOW.
