Letter

ISRAEL WASHBURN, Jr., Collector to Andrew Jackson, December 11, 1863

Mr. Washburn to Mr. Jackson.

Cargo of Chesapeake was owned entirely by American and Canadian merchants, and was not intended to run blockade. Advise authorities of fact, as the piracy was projected in St. John. I suppose they will not permit Chesapeake to leave their ports.

ISRAEL WASHBURN, Jr., Collector.
