Letter
Lyons to William H. Seward, February 5, 1864
[Enclosure 5 in No. 23.]
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, February 5, 1864.
Sir: With reference to the letter from the Secretary of the Navy, which you did me the honor to communicate to me with your note of yesterday, I hasten to inform you that Mr. Stephen Shephard, who was master of the Saxon when Mr. James Gray met with his death on board that vessel, is now at New York, and would doubtless be able to give very material evidence before the court of inquiry at Boston; and I have the honor to suggest to you to cause him to be summoned to attend the court.
He can be heard of at her Majesty’s consulate, at New York. I have, &c.,
LYONS.
