Raleigh, February 18, 1864.
Hon. J. A. SEDDON, Secretary of War:
If the State of North Carolina were to buy a third of the steamers Don and Hansa, would they be released from the existing regulation in regard to carrying cotton for Confederacy? They are already under my control by virtue of the within contract.* What permit is now required for shipping cotton under the recent act of Congress? The steamer Advance has again arrived.
Respectfully, yours,
