127. the Coast defences.
Gov. Curtin's reply to Secretary Seward.
The following is a copy of the letter addressed by Gov. 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 co ns that may arise from steps that have been taken during the existing crisis.
In case, therefore, the General Government should persist in the plan which you suggest, 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.
