FORT WARREN, Boston Harbor, May 22, 1862.
Brig. Gen. L. THOMAS,
Adjutant-General U. S. Army, Washington, D. C.
SIR: I have just received your telegram of the 21st and forward herewith a list of all the privateersmen at this station, and have required transportation of them of the assistant quartermaster at Boston. I have five prisoners taken on board merchant vessels attempting to run the blockade. I know it was the intention of the Government to send these men across the lines for I forwarded several months ago their names to the honorable Secretary of the Navy for this purpose. They were ordered to be released by telegram from your office dated 21st February, but declined giving the usual pledge unless they could be sent South alleging that they had rather remain prisoners than be released to starve. The commissioners again ordered their release on the 7th instant. I would therefore respectfully request an order to send these men-viz, J. A. Douglass, Elijah Sibern, J. F. Newton, S. F. Newton and R. S. Grissons-to Fort Monroe to be sent within the Confederate lines with the privateersmen.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. DIMICK,
Colonel First Artillery, Commanding Post.
