MOORE, Collector of Customs to Geo. S. Boutwell, November 9, 1869
[Inclosure No. 1.]
Mr. Moore, collector, to Mr. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury.
Custom-House, Collector’s Office, Philadelphia, November 9, 1869.
Sir: I have the honor to inclose the report of E. O. Goodrich, esq., surveyor of the port, in regard to an examination of the ram Atlanta, seized by instructions, on the 8th instant, from your Department.
Mr. Oakes Smith, with the Haytian general, waited on me this morning, and produced evidence as leads me to believe that the Atlanta has been legitimately purchased for the Haytain government. These gentlemen will wait on you, in a day or two, in regard to the vessel.
I am, very respectfully, &c.,
HENRY D. MOORE,
Collector of Customs.
Collector of Customs.
Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury.
