San Francisco,
Cal.,
May 15, 1867.
A steamer will be despatched for Sitka early in June next. Many of our citizens are anxious to ship merchandise to that point Have they the right to do so now, or must they await the official occupation of the country by our government?
JNO. CONNESS.
BEN. HOLLIDAY.
Hon. F. W. Seward, Assistant Secretary of State.
