Letter
Benjamin Moran to William H. Seward, May 22, 1868
Mr. Moran to Mr. Seward
No. 35.]
Legation of the United States, London, May 22, 1868.
Sir: I learn this morning from Mr. West, the consul at Dublin, that Mr. Denis O’Connor, the last imprisoned American citizen in Ireland known to him, has accepted his release. Mr. West has provided him with his passage to the United States at the expense of the government, and he expects to sail for home in the Tariffa on the 3d of June.
Thus ends the anxiety created by these troublesome cases. Mr. West has conducted the perplexing business connected with them, under Mr. Adams’s directions, with marked patriotism, tact, and sound sense. He has had no easy task, but he has performed it well.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
BENJAMIN MORAN.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
