Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, January 14, 1862

Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the note, which you were so good as to address to me yesterday, on the subject of the despatch from Earl Russell to me, relative to the arrests of British subjects, of which I delivered a copy to you three days ago. I will to-day forward to Lord Russell a copy of the communication which you have thus been so good as to make to me.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

LYONS.

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