No. 1233.]
Department of State, Washington, January 10, 1865.
Sir: Mr. Morse, our consul at London, by a despatch of the 23d ultimo, informs me that he has furnished you with such information as he communicated in that despatch to me concerning the written orders issued by insurgents in Great Britain to some of the crew of the pirate Florida, to report for duty on another piratical vessel called the Rappahannock.
I will thank you, if you have not already done so, to present to her Majesty’s government such remonstrances against these proceedings as may in your judgment be expedient.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
