Hammond to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)
10 September 1861
I have laid before Earl Russell your letter of the 6th Instant and
its Inclosures, and I am to request that you will state to the Duke
of Newcastle, that Lord Russell concurs in the Despatch which His
Grace addressed under date of the 3rd Instant to Governor Douglas
respecting the retention of the Marines on the Island of San Juan.
