[Untitled]
United States Steamer Kearsarge, Off Queenstown, December 7, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I came to, off Queenstown, for the purpose of landing sixteen refugees who had concealed themselves on board this ship prior to her departure from Queenstown, on the 5th of November. I learn here that an attempt has been made to magnify this circumstance for purposes unfriendly to the United States. I have, therefore, given to the American consul my certificate, with a representation of the circumstances by the executive officer of this ship, and I have directed the consul to hand you a copy of the same.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JNO. A. WINSLOW, Captain.
Rear-Admiral Sir Lewis T. Jones, Com’dg H. M. Naval Forces, Coast of Ireland.
