Señor Fernandez to Mr. Washburn..
Major Fernandez has the honor to salute the honorable minister of the United States, and to thank him, in the marshal’s name, for the notices in relation to the Wasp which he intrusted to me for his excellency.
Major Fernandez is ordered by the marshal to request you to tender his thanks to Mr. Kirkland, commander of the United States steamer Wasp.
Major Fernandez has inquired for papers and packages to be sent to Mr. Washburn by Mr. Kirkland, and has learned that the enemy’s truce-boat only delivered the note of the 20th instant, at Timbo, which he has the honor to make known to you, with his respects.
