Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

No. 1350.]

Legation of the United States, London, April 13, 1867.

Sir: I have to acknowledge the reception of despatches from the department numbered 1946, 1951, 1953, and 1954.

In regard to the subject of your No. 1951, of the 25th of March, I have the honor to report that an application had already been made on behalf of John H. Rogers by Mr. West, the acting consul at Dublin, and I have received from the latter a letter announcing the decision of the authorities at Dublin to release him on condition of his leaving the country. I have not yet been advised of the action of Mr. Rogers upon that condition.

I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
