K Baldwin to Henry Adderley, July 30, 1861
Mr. Baldwin to Mr. Adderley.
Richmond, Virginia, July 30, 1861.
My Dear Adderley: The secretary of the navy of the Confederate States of America has ordered from England, to be shipped to Nassau, a quantity of arms and powder. I have recommended them to be consigned to you, and I have to ask of you, as a favor to me, to take good care of them. I will be with you soon, and will expect your aid in transhipping the same.
I must request you to regard this as a confidential communication, and will explain the reasons when we meet. You need not write me at all on the subject.
Hoping soon to see you, I remain your friend,
JNO. P. BALDWIN.
Henry Adderley, Esq., Nassau, N. P., Bahamas.
