Letter

Charles R. Lowell to John James Piatt, April 11, 1883

[Inclosure 3 in No. 531.]

Mr. Lowell to Mr. Piatt.

Sir: I have to acknowledge the reception of your letter of the 7th, containing a full and satisfactory report upon the case of Edmund O’ B. Kennedy, alias Featherstone. I fully approve of your action in this matter.

In the absence of documentary evidence of his citizenship, and his insufficient explanation of certain suspicious circumstances, I do not think it my duty to intervene except under instructions from the Department of State.

I am, &c.,

J. R. LOWELL.
