In respect to the suggestion contained in despatch No. 1456 of the 20th of June, I have to inform you that I have taken the necessary steps to obtain, if possible, the further information desired from the persons who made depositions respecting the part taken by the steamer City of Richmond in supplying the Olinde, otherwise known as the Stonewall, with equipment and crew.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
