GIDEON WELLES, Secretary of the Navy to William H. Seward, October 12, 1864
Mr. Welles to Mr. Seward.
Navy Department, Washington, October 12, 1864.
Sir: I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 7th instant, enclosing a despatch from Mr. Adams, in relation to the course pursued by the civil authorities at Dover, in liberating seamen who had deserted from the United States ship Iroquois.
The course pursued by the authorities at Dover will necessarily be reciprocated, and in that event relieve us from great and constant applications in regard to seamen who have or may come among us. In compliance with your request the despatch and accompaniments are herewith returned.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
GIDEON WELLES, Secretary of the Navy.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
