Hoppin to Granville Leveson-Gower, September 28, 1882

[Inclosure 2 in No. 256.]

Mr. Hoppin to Lord Granville.

My Lord: Referring to my note of the 22d instant, to which I have not yet had the pleasure of a reply, I trust your lordship will pardon me if I repeat the request therein contained, that I may be informed whether William Brophy, an American suspect, detained under the protection of person and property (Ireland) act, and whose release from prison is said to have been announced in the newspapers, has been really discharged. I have been requested by telegram from the Department of State at Washington to ascertain the facts in this case.

I have, &c.

W. J. HOPPIN.
