Letter

RAWSON, Governor to J. Hume Bunley, April 3, 1865

Governor Rawson to Mr. Burnley

SIR: In reply to your despatch of the 8th instant, enclosing a letter from Mr. Secretary Seward upon the movements of the schooner Gypsy, I have satisfaction in reporting that the apprehensions entertained by the United States consul, at Havana appear to have been groundless, and the information which excited them incorrect.

The Gypsy arrived in this port, on the 2d of March with seven passengers, and cleared out in ballast for Havana on the 14th of the same month, under the command of the same master. Of the seven passengers, one was a medicai officer in her Majesty’s service, and another a tradesman of this place.

I have, &c.,

RAWSON W. RAWSON, Governor.

J. Hume Bunley, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
