Mr. Hunter to Mr. Adams
Sir: I transmit herewith a copy of a letter of the 12th instant, which the Secretary of the Navy has addressed to this department, respecting the proceedings of his excellency the governor of the Bahamas, in refusing to allow a United States vessel-of-war to enter the port of Abaco, for the purpose of removing certain property which was saved from the wreck of the United States steamer San Jacinto. I have to request you to call the attention of her Majesty’s government to the want of international comity evinced by the governor of the Bahamas, on the occasion referred to.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., London.
