C. S. Steamer Florida, Funchal, February 29, 1864.

Sir:Your letter of the 28th instant, in answer to a communication which you received from me of the same date, setting forth the reasons for my not leaving this port, &c., has been received. You state that his excellency the governor consents to my being supplied with bread, water, and twenty tons of coals to enable this vessel to proceed to the high seas. I will state that I require forty tons of coals to reach the nearest port without I am allowed to take that amount of coals on board.

I am, sir, with much respect, your obedient servant,

C. MARUGAULT MORRIS, Lieutenant Commanding, C. S. N.

Joaquin Pedro de Castelbranco, C. F. d’A. R. Captain of the Port, &c., &c., &c.
