Hamilton Fish to Charles C. Marsh, February 6, 1872

No. 243. Mr. Fishid to Mr. Marsh.

No. 333.]

Sir: I transmit a copy of dispatch No. 80, of the 11th ultimo, addressed to this Department by Mr. O. M. Spencer, consul of the United States at Genoa. This paper relates to the loss of the brig Shamrock at that port, apparently occasioned, and certainly aggravated, by the conduct of the authorities there. You will make any further inquiry upon the subject which may seem advisable prior to presenting the subject to the Italian government, in order’ that the persons culpable may be made sensible thereof, and that other redress may be awarded.

I am, &c.,

HAMILTON FISH.
