Letter

Edw’d Thornton to Hamilton Fish, November 29, 1876

No. 146. Sir Edward Thornton to Mr. Fish.

My Dear Mr. Fish: I have a telegram telling me that orders have been issued for the arrest of the three criminals, but Lord Derby thinks that this should be kept secret as long as possible, lest they should get notice and escape.

Believe me, &c.,

EDW’D THORNTON.
