[Untitled]

Adrianople, April 9, 1864.

My Dear Sir: I returned here on the 5th, and on the 7th I had the honor to present to Kibrisili Pacha the pistols forwarded by your government.

The Pacha appeared very pleased. He will answer your letter through me, and I will write the report to you, officially, on the subject.

I feel highly flattered that you forwarded the pistols through me.

I remain, my dear sir, yours, very respectfully,

W. BLOUNT.

Hon. E. Joy Morris, &c., &c., &c.

P. S.—Yesterday, the 8th, I heard that Dervish Cavens was liberated during my absence. I will, of course, make inquiries and let you know. I have been told that he is very ill, half blind and lame, the effect of his imprisonment.
