Informs Lossing, "I answer to your inquiries in relation to the Seal of the Confederate States, I will state- that the seal was executed in England, in duplicate. One of them was sent over, and was received in Richmond in the last days before the evacuation. But the machinery for impressing it was not sent with it, and never arrived; and the seal was never used."
