Letter
Hamilton Fish to George S. Boutwell, May 8, 1869
[41] *Mr. Fish, Secretary of State, to Mr. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury.
Department of State, Washington, May 8, 1869.
Sir: Mr. Roberts, the minister of Spain here, has represented to this Department that the steamer Quaker City is in preparation at New York to cruise against Spanish commerce under a letter of marque. I will consequently thank you to give such instructions as may prevent that vessel from clearing in violation of the neutrality act of 1818.
I have the honor to be, &c.,
HAMILTON FISH.
Hon. George S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury.
