Letter

Right Hon. Lord Lyons to Hon, William H. Seward, December 12, 1863

Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.

My dear Sir: I have just received a telegram from the administrator of the government of Nova Scotia, stating that the Chesapeake has not put into any port in that colony. My impression was that the telegram you showed me before dinner yesterday came from your vice-consul at Halifax, and that he stated that the crown lawyers there were considering the case.

Yours, faithfully,

LYONS.

Hon, William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
