Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, February 19, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 16th instant, enclosing a copy of a despatch addressed by the United States consul in the Bahamas islands to the Secretary of the Navy, in which certain statements are made concerning the reception of the steamer Oreto or Florida at Nassau.
I will, in compliance with your request, make inquiry with regard to those statements, and I will, without loss of time, do myself the honor to communicate the result to you.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
