Letter from A. S. Crowninshield to John Davis Long
On behalf of the General Board of the United States Navy, Rear Admiral Crowninshield urges Secretary Long to “make such representations in the proper quarters” to ensure that the proposed trans-Pacific cable is owned or controlled by the United States government. The General Board is concerned that if the cable’s rights are controlled by individuals or companies contact could be lost with America’s Pacific possessions during a time of war.
