November 11, 1863.
Sir: I transmit with this despatch the copy of a letter which I have just received from Captain Winslow, commanding the United States steamer Kearsarge.
It is to be observed, to his credit, that he acted promptly upon the information communicated in my telegram, and I beg leave to request that this fact may be made known to the Secretary of the Navy.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
JAMES E. HARVEY.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
