Boston, April 17, 1861.
To Colonel Borden, on
Boat Agent, Fall River:
Letter received. Seen Crowninshield. Four hundred and fifty
men leave at two o'clock. Want State of Maine ready on terms proposed. Men will
take cooked bread and meat. Put in other things, including salt provisions for
a week, and hard bread at actual cost — balance to be landed. Will she be
ready?
