William H. Seward to Charles F. Adams, January 18, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 819.]
Department of State, Washington, January 18, 1864.
Sir: I have received your despatch of the 22d ultimo, No. 561, which relates to the alleged enlistments on the Kearsarge. It is not easy to discover the points of difference between the consul’s statements and the opposing ones to which Earl Russell refers. I can, therefore, only renew the instruction authorizing you to investigate the matter, and remove the consul, if he has offended, reporting the whole case to me.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles F. Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
