Mr. Perry to Sir J. A. Larcom.

11 Bachelor’s Walk, Dublin, January 20, 1864.

Sir: I beg to enclose a copy of a letter received by Messrs. Sable & Searle, of Liverpool, emigration agents, from their agent at Boston, together with copies of a proposed agreement to be entered into with intending emigrants, a letter from Mr. Finney, an agent appointed to bring out emigrants to America, and a copy of a letter from Messrs. Sable & Searle to myself.

I have respectfully to request you will inform me on behalf of my clients, Messrs. Sable & Searle, whether they can follow their legitimate trade of shipping passengers in manner referred to in the correspondence or not, or are they bound to ship them back.

I have been informed by the American consul here that Mr. Adams, the American minister, is in communication with the government in London on the same subject.

I have, &c.,

JEREMIAH PERRY.
