Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your note of the 21st January, relative to the alleged intentions on the part of enemies of the United States, now said to be lurking in Canada, to make a predatory incursion on certain points on United States territory.
I have transmitted a copy of that note to his excellency the governor general of Canada.
