Letter

E. M. Archibald to the Collector , New York, December 31, 1863

The same to the same.

Dear Sir: Referring to my note of to-day, I beg leave to add that the people of Newfoundland are not, nor is any portion of them, interested in the political questions in the United States. They have no trade, direct or indirect, nor any commercial transactions with the insurgent States of the Union, neither have they any trade with Nassau or Bermuda, except that occasionally a vessel from Bermuda may visit Newfoundland seeking a freight.

I am, dear sir, yours, very truly,

E. M. ARCHIBALD.

Hon. the Collector, New York.
