J.hume Burnley to William H. Seward, December 31, 1864

Mr. Burnley to Mr. Seward

Sir: With reference to my note of the 12th of December, and to previous correspondence on the subject of an alleged military organization in Canada of fugitives from the United States, I have now the honor to transmit to you copies of a note, and of its enclosure, which I have received from the governor general of Canada on this subject.

You will observe that upon the strictest inquiry no traces of such an organization could be discovered.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

J.HUME BURNLEY.

Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
