Description
The heart of the circular is in the introductory messages from William H. Seward: The Union will depend on its consular officers to control the shipment of contraband during the Rebellion. Certain duties in the vigil against smuggling may not be delegated to subordinates, and new and additional precautions and paperwork are being added to the consular duties. Following this, a message from President Lincoln regarding his 19 April 1861 proclamation and the somewhat relaxed situation in three ports: Beaufort, N.C., Port Royal, S.C., and New Orleans, Lousiana.
