Curtin to Secretary Seward, in reply to his circular on coast defences: Pennsylvania Executive Chamber, Harrisburg, November 2, 1861. Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.: sir: I received, a few days since, an envelope, apparently from the Department of State, at Washington, enclosing a slip from a newspaper, purporting to be a copy of a letter from you to the Governor of New York. This mode of communicating advice by the Government of the United States to the State authorities is so unusual,t, I beg that the President will, as you propose, forthwith send proper agents of that Government to Harrisburg, to confer with me on the position and character of the necessary fortifications, so that no delay may occur in adopting proper measures for their construction. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. G. Curtin.
