Letter
Cridland to Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons, May 28, 1863
[Enclosure 1 in No. 5.]
Acting Consul Cridland to Lord Lyons.
Mobile, May 28, 1863.
My Lord: I have the honor to report to your lordship that I arrived at the port of Mobile on the 27th instant, and entered on my duties as British acting consul this day.
I delivered your lordship’s letter of the 30th April to M. Portz, who at once made over to me the archives and the seals of the office.
Not having as yet had the occasion to communicate with the local or so-called confederate authorities, I cannot now report to your lordship whether my requests will meet with a favorable consideration or not at their hands.
I have, &c.,
F. J. CRIDLAND.
