Letter
Nathaniel Gunnison, Vice-consul to the Mayor of Halifax, December 19, 1863
[Enclosure 29 in No. 5.]
Mr. Gunnison to the Mayor of Halifax.
Halifax, December 19, 1863.
Sir: As it is evident, from what has just transpired on the Queen’s wharf, that the pirates of the Chesapeake cannot be arrested in this city, I therefore feel it incumbent on me to notify you that the United States government at present will not require the further services of the police of this city.
I have, &c.,
NATHANIEL GUNNISON, Vice-Consul.
