Letter

Benjamin Moran to Hamilton Fish, March 8, 1871

No. 205.

Mr. Moran to Mr. Fish

No. 256.]

Sir: I have the honor to send herewith two copies of correspondence, just presented to Parliament, respecting the departure of Lord Lyons from Paris at the time of its investment by the Germans. His lordship’s letter of the 26th ultimo will, no doubt, attract your attention, as it gives his reasons for going to Bordeaux, and his explanation of the motives which induced Mr. Washburne to remain at his post.

I am, &c.,

BENJAMIN MORAN.
