William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, April 5, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 898.]
Department of State, Washington, April 5, 1864.
Sir: I transmit herewith a copy of a despatch of the 5th of February last, No. 6, from the United States consul at Mauritius, respecting the case of the American ship Sea Bride. If the view taken by the governor of his instructions in regard to the treatment of uncondemned captured cargoes, or parts thereof, is correct, you are expected to point out the defectiveness of these instructions, and ask to have them so far corrected as may be just and necessary.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
