Letter
Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, February 22, 1864
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, February 22, 1864.
Sir: With reference to my note of the 19th instant, respecting the restrictions imposed upon trade between New York and her Majesty’s possessions, I do myself the honor to submit to you a copy of a letter, addressed to her Majesty’s consul at New York by Mr. Edward Cunard, who represents that the enforcement of these restrictions in the case of the royal mail steamer Corsica would render it necessary to send that vessel to Nassau without freight.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
