Letter
William H. Seward to Charles F. Adams, December 19, 1863
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 788.]
Department of State, Washington, December 19, 1863.
Sir: I give you herewith, for your information, a copy of the papers relating to the piracy committed upon the Chesapeake.
It is very desirable, if possible, that her Majesty’s government should allow a surrender of the criminals. It would avert possible embarrassments, which I need not particularly indicate, and would manifestly be very useful in preventing the rise of border jealousies, a class of troubles always to be seriously deprecated.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles F. Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
The papers above referred to are published in correspondence with the British legation.
