Letter
Hoppin to Packard, March 18, 1880
[Inclosure 2 in No. 166.]
Mr. Hoppin to Mr. Packard.
Legation of the United States, London, March 18, 1880.
Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, addressed to Mr. Lowell, stating that the first company of Mormon emigrants for this year would leave Liverpool on Saturday, the 10th of April next, by the Wyoming, of the Guion line.
As Her Majesty’s Government confines its action in this matter to the publication of a notice, by the police authorities, warning intending emigrants to Utah of the consequences of infringing the laws of the United States on the subject of polygamy, it would be desirable to bring this projected departure of Mormons to the notice of the police of Liverpool, with the request that it should repeat the warning that was given in previous cases.
I am, &c.,
W. J. HOPPIN.
