Show moreDrayton writes that Winter Davis asked him about the propriety of showing du Pont's reports directly to the President. Drayton suggested that Davis might mention the reports but advised against showing them directly, as it would be very unlikely to influence the President against either Welles or Fox. Drayton expresses a lack of confidence in Admiral Foote, who is to relieve du Pont as the head of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Drayton believes the truth about the limitations of the ironclads will be made known eventually, but there is nothing to be done so long as Assistant Secretary Fox supports John Ericsson.
