Commander Schwartz to Commander Ingraham.
His Imperial Majesty's brig Hussar,
Smyrna, July 2d, 1853.
To
The Commander of the United States ship St. Louis,
Present.
Sir: I have the honor to refer you to my letter of the 28th ultimo, in which I stated that I depend altogether upon the Consul General in the matter respecting the prisoner Martin Coszta. I shall send him your letter of this day, and request him to come to an understanding with you himself.
I protest against all violence toward His Imperial Majesty's brig "Hussar," or schooner "Artimesia," and shall consider it as a hostile step for which I would hold you altogether responsible.
I have the honor to subscribe myself, with great respect, your obedient servant,
Schwartz.
