William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, January 6, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 803.]
Department of State, Washington, January 6, 1864.
Sir: I acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of December 11, No. 556, together with its accompaniment, namely, your note addressed to Earl Russell, with proofs in the case of the Canton alias the Pampero, a piratical steamer, which is being built at Glasgow. Later advices by telegram state that her Majesty’s government has forbidden the departure of that hostile craft. It is to be hoped that this information is correct.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
