Mr. Archibald to Sir F. Bruce

British Consulate, New York, April 21, 1865.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit, herewith enclosed, copies of resolutions adopted at a meeting of British residents of New York, held on the 18th instant, for the purpose of expressing their sympathy and condolence with the American people under the national bereavement caused by the assassination of the late President.

In compliance with the wishes of the meeting, expressed in their third resolution, I have the honor to request that you will be so good as to communicate the resolutions in such manner as you may think proper, to the government of the United States and to Mrs. Lincoln and the members of the family of the late President.

I have, &c.

EDWARD M. ARCHIBALD.
