My Dear Friend
Will you do me the favor to give the enclosed letter the
proper direction to Lord Lyons. It contains a letter to my friend Capt. Hancock
of the Immortalite— whose address I had not.
I am off so soon as the tide is up, three days gale just
over—the first we have had.
Ever faithfully in
haste
S. F. DUPONT
Cap. Fox
Navy Dept
Wabash 27th Feby. 62
Port Royal.
