Viscount Monck to Mr. Burnley
Quebec, December 20, 1864.
SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch and enclosures relative to the alleged manufacture at Windsor of “Greek fire,” for use in attempts to burn cities in the United States.
In reply, I have the honor to state that I will take immediate measures to have the truth of this allegation investigated, and should it prove well founded I will adopt such measures as may be within my power to defeat the objects of those engaged in the manufacture.
I have, &c., &c.
MONCK.
