Sir F. Bruce to Mr. Hunter

Washington, May 1, 1865.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit to you herewith a copy of the resolutions of the St. George’s Benevolent Society of Cincinnati, with reference to the assassination of the late President. This document has been forwarded to me by her Majesty’s consul at St. Louis.

I have also the honor, at the request of the secretary of the St. George’s Society of the city of Madison, Wisconsin, to transmit to you a copy of the resolutions, passed by that society on the same occasion, and to beg that you will have the goodness to cause the same to be communicated to the Hon. Mrs. Lincoln.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE.

Hon. William Hunter, &c., &c., &c.
