Letter
Hugh McCulloch , Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D to Hugh McCulloch, April 16, 1866
[8] *[Inclosure.]
Mr. Turnbull, collector, to Mr. McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury.
Office of the Collector of Customs, District of Stonington, Connecticut, Stonington, April 16, 1866.
Sir: The gun-boat Sciota, recently purchased of the United States Government by parties in New London, has been repairing at Noank, from which place she expects to sail for her destination, Valparaiso. I understand her cargo is to consist of guns, gun-carriages, kerosene oil, oakum, &c. It is the impression here that she is intended for the Chilian navy.
Please inform me if I shall allow her to clear for Valparaiso, or what course I shall pursue in regard to her.
Yours, very respectfully,
- H. N TURNBULL, Collector.
- Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C.
