Letter
Cridland to Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons, July 11, 1863
[Enclosure 9 in No. 5.]
Acting Consul Cridland to Lord Lyons.
Mobile, July 11, 1863.
My Lord: In a despatch dated the 26th June last I had the honor to inform your lordship that the authorities at Richmond had refused me permission to remain here till I could receive instructions from your lordship with regard to the disposal of the archives of this consulate.
On that same date, however, I again asked for the permission, stating that, foreseeing the difficulty of obtaining instructions in the case from your lordship, I had applied for the same to Earl Russell.
I have received a reply from Mr. Benjamin, a copy of which I have forwarded to Earl Russell, and now submit the same to your lordship.
I have, &c.,
FRED J. CRIDLAND.
