Letter

Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, January 9, 1863

Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.

Sir: I think it right to call your attention to the enclosed copy of a despatch from the British vice-consul at Key West to her Majesty’s consul at New York. He states that the British schooner Mont Blanc, of Nassau, which has been brought into Key West as a prize by the United States steamer Octorora, was captured at Sand key, Bahama bank, within a mile of the shore.

I have the honor to be, &c.,

LYONS.

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