Washington, October 19, 1861.
Sir: I transmit herewith a copy of a note from the British minister of the 11th instant, and of its accompaniment, respecting an alleged interference with the British ship “Perthshire” by vessels of the United States blockading squadron.
I will thank you to furnish me with such information upon the subject as will enable me to reply to the note of Lord Lyons.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
