George S. Boutwell to Henry D. Moore, June 24, 1869

Mr. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, to Mr. Moore, collector.

Henry D. Moore, Esq., Collector of Customs, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:

I have reason to believe that a vessel with armament and an unusually large number of men is in your port, with the design to leave to-day or to-morrow in aid of the insurgents of Cuba. Name of vessel not known, nor other particulars. Have search made, and report.
