Letter
Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, February 20, 1864
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, February 20, 1864.
Sir: With reference to my note of yesterday I hasten to send to you a copy of a despatch from her Majesty’s consul at New York, which puts it beyond all doubt that the statement made to the Navy Department that Captain Steele, of the Banshee, does not make oath that he is a British subject, is incorrect.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. William H. Seward.
