Letter
Lyons to Lieutenant Governor Gordon, February 1, 1864
[Enclosure 10 in No. 21.]
Lord Lyons to Lieutenant Governor Gordon.
Washington, February 1, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency’s despatch of the 21st of this month, informing me that three of the men implicated in the affair of the Chesapeake had been arrested at St. John, and that your excellency had communicated to their counsel copies of the requisition upon which your warrant authorizing their arrest was founded. I am very much obliged to your excellency for the information you have been so good as to send to me with regard to the communication of the requisition. The subject has not hitherto been mentioned to me by the Secretary of State of the United States, nor have I spoken to him about it.
I am, &c.,
LYONS.
