Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Second Session Thirty-eighth Congress, Part I

S. Price Edwards, esq., collector of her Majesty’s customs, Liverpool, to Laird Brothers.

Custom-House, Liverpool, September 11, 1863.

Dear Sirs: I am sorry to say there can be no trial trip of the iron-clad ship until Earl Russell’s reply can be had. That reply may yet come in time to meet your wishes.

I am, dear sirs, yours, very truly,

S. P. EDWARDS.

Messrs. Laird Brothers.
