Lord Stanley to Mr. Adams

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 11th instant, relative to the wreck of the Rover, and I beg to express to you the satisfaction with which her Majesty’s government have learnt the assistance which the consul at Tam-suin and Commander Broad were enabled to offer, though unhappily without a successful result, on that occasion.

I have the honor, &c.,

STANLEY.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
