[Translation.—Enclosure.]
Consular Agency of the United States, Brest, September 15, 1863.
Monsieur le Ministre: The reparations of the Florida go on with great speed, and this steamer will not be long before again going to sea.
It is pretended that the seizures, operated on account of the misdoings of the Florida, are not all regular, and will not stop her.
On the other hand, the commander, Maffitt, as well as his officers, declares that they fear no cruiser—that they will be able to avoid it.
It is presumable that the Florida will hereafter be detained but a short time in port.
I am, with respect, your excellency’s very obedient servant,
KENOS.
