Harvey to William H. Seward, November 28, 1863

Mr. Harvey to Mr. Seward.

No. 242.]

Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a note from our consul at this port relative to the presence of two suspicious steamers which have attracted some attention.

Mr. W. S. Lindsay, who is mentioned in this connexion, is a member of the British Parliament. He came to Lisbon to look after some personal interests in a steamship company which had become complicated, and after effecting a conditional arrangement of them, took passage to-day for England.

I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

JAMES E. HARVEY.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
