Lord Monck to Lord Lyons

Quebec, December 6, 1864.

My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt this day of your despatch of November 30, enclosing copies of the documents noted in the margin, respecting the alleged organization and drilling, in Prince Edward’s county, Canada West, of fugitives from the United States.

In reply, I have the honor to state, for the information of Mr. Seward, that I will take immediate steps to investigate the accuracy of the information communicated to Major General Dix, and should it prove well founded, I will use all legal means to put an end to the practice.

I have, &c, &c.

MONCK.

Lord Lyons.
