Letter

Mr. Blumhe to Mr. Wood, April 8, 1865

[Translation.]

Mr. Blumhe to Mr. Wood

Sir: I hasten to inform you that in regard to the information you have been kind enough to furnish me by your letter of the 3d instant, I have taken some steps in order that any attempt in the direction of enrolling Danish subjects for the service of the so-called confederates shall be put down.

I ought to add that the existing laws inflict very severe punishments not only on the recruiting agents, but also on those allowing themselves to be enlisted.

Be pleased to accept, sir, the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

BLUMHE.

His Excellency Mr. Wood, Minister Resident.
