Letter
Northbrook to Charles R. Lowell, February 1, 1884
[Inclosure 1 in No. 704.—Private.]
Lord Northbrook to Mr. Lowell.
Admiralty, S. W., February 1, 1884.
My Dear Mr. Lowell: Commander Chadwick has mentioned, in conversation with Sir Cooper Key, that Her Majesty’s ship Alert might be of use to the United States Government in an expedition to be dispatched in search of the expedition which is missing in the Arctic regions.
I write a line to say that we have not forgotten the very considerate conduct of the Government of the United States on the occasion of the recovery of the Resolute, and that if you should be instructed, to make any suggestions, through the usual official Channel, that the Alert would be of any use to the United States Government, we shall be happy to ask you to accept her as a present.
Yours, very sincerely,
NORTHBROOK.
