Letter from Great Britain Admiralty, to Amos Augustus Phelps, 21 September 1841

This letter issued by “Admiralty” states that the communication of the Citizens of Boston requesting to stop launching Cunard Streamers on Sundays was laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and that the request was considered and declined. Sturge’s letter written in Birmingham on the same day on the same piece of the paper offers his own comments.
