Mr. F. W. Seward to Mr. Yeaman.
Sir: Your despatch of the 23d instant, No. 13, has been received, and that part of it relating to the articles, now in your custody, which formerly belonged to the iron-clad Stoerkodder, or Stonewall, has been referred to the Secretary of the Navy, who, in a letter just received at this department, suggests that the articles referred to be shipped to the United States for the purpose of being placed on board that vessel. You are consequently instructed to lose no time in giving effect to the suggestion of the Secretary of the Navy.
The information communicated in your despatch concerning political affairs in Denmark has been read with much interest.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
George H. Yeaman, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
