Letter
Right Hon. Earl Russell to Charles Francis Adams, April 9, 1864
[Untitled]
Foreign Office, April 9, 1864.
Sir: I transmit to you herewith extracts from a deposition of one Daniel O’Connell, by which you will perceive that he was examined and sworn before or with the knowledge of officers of the United States ship-of-war Kearsarge, and furnished with the uniform of a United States sailor.
I know not how these circumstances, occurring on board a ship-of war, can have taken place without the knowledge of the captain of the vessel.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
RUSSELL.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
