GEORGE TRUE, United States Consul to J. E. Harvey , United States Minister, Lisbon, October 19, 1863
Mr. True to Mr. Harvey.
United States Consulate, Madeira, October 19, 1863.
Sir: I have just received, per steamer Sampson, a letter from our consul at Teneriffe, saying that the confederate steamer Georgia, Captain Maury, had arrived there on the 15th instant from the Cape, having on board the captain and crew of the ship Bold Hunter, of Boston, burned by her at sea.
As he writes that she is taking on 300 tons of coal, and was to leave on the night of the 16th, and as this steamer seems to have changed her route for Lisbon, I deem it proper to advise you of these facts.

I am, sir, in great haste, yours, respectfully,
GEORGE TRUE, United States Consul.
Hon. J. E. Harvey, United States Minister, Lisbon.
