Letter

Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, January 15, 1864

Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit to you copies of a despatch and its enclosures which I have this day received from the governor general of Canada, relative to the detention of live stock by the United States customs authorities at Niagara suspension bridge. I beg you to be so good as to recommend these papers to the immediate attention of the proper authorities, and I should be extremely obliged to you to let me have an answer at your earliest convenience.

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

LYONS.

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