Show moreDu Pont tells Drayton he will be sending USS Passaic to New York for repairs following the failed attack at Charleston. Du Pont expresses regret that the incident at Charleston will irrevocably damage his ability to advance the officers who had served under his command. He believes that with the order to attack Charleston he had 'been called upon to make bricks without straw and dimmed my previous standing because I would not succeed.' However, he feels he has served the country and its cause by saving the fleet and coast, and in the process conducted an experiment with the ironclads that may prove useful in preparing for any foreign war. He thanks Drayton and his fellow officers for their letter concerning Charleston to the Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles.

However, he feels he has served the country and its cause by saving the fleet and coast, and in the process conducted an experiment with the ironclads that may prove useful in preparing for any foreign war. He has not yet heard anything from the Department of the Navy since the attack, but he knows that the 'slanderers who have poisoned or attempted to poison the public mind' are in the sympathy of the Department. Du Pont plans to withdraw, hoping to go home in May and arrange to give up the squadron.
