Monck to J. Hume Burnley, December 17, 1864
Viscount Monck to Mr. Burnley
Government House, Quebec, December 17, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 11th instant, and its enclosures, relative to the movements of the steamer Georgiana, and to other proceedings reported to be on foot in Canada hostile to the United States.
I have to request that you will inform Mr. Seward that the Canadian government is fully alive to the importance of preventing the formation of any plans hostile to the United States on British soil, and has taken stringent measures to that end, both of a civil and military character.
I have, &c., &c.
MONCK.
J. Hume Burnley, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
